HERMENEUTICS 2025
Biblical Hermeneutics is the study of the principles and methods of interpreting the text of the Bible.
The class seeks to equip the student with a collection of interpretive tools to help derive the original, intended meaning of Scripture and come to an accurate understanding of the Bible in light of its whole.
We also think of Hermeneutics as a set of lenses through which we can view the Word of God to accurately “give the sense” (Nehemiah 8:8) of the Scripture’s true, Holy Spirit-inspired meaning.
Join us for an introductory survey of Hermeneutics (15-week class) as we learn to dig deeper into the unsearchable riches of the Word of God together!
ANCIENT LANDMARKS
Welcome to a brand-new class in CLI’s School of Ministry!
Over the last couple of years, God has birthed a vision / mission statement for SoM that it exists to equip God’s people to become ministers after God’s heart, to do His work, and to build up the church, the body of Christ. This vision is born from Ephesians 4:12, and as Director of SoM, my perpetual burden and prayer before the Lord is, “What do the students need to fulfill this statement?”
Throughout the last several months, I have heard the Holy Spirit speaking a verse from Proverbs that reads, “Remove not the ancient landmarks, which thy fathers have set” (Prov 22:28).
