Developing Biblical Interpretation
Monday June 13 th to Friday 17 th June 2022
The Bible is a vital document for the church, for theological reflection and for ministry within the church. The narratives, images, concepts and values of the Bible form and shape Christian practice and ministry (whether ‘professional’ or ‘lay’). Relating the Bible relevantly and appropriately to contemporary individual and community contexts requires a range of exegetical skills and hermeneutical sensitivities.
