I. General Purpose: This course aims to continue fostering Bible study which is: methodical (following orderly procedure, rather than relying on chance), inductive (promoting direct personal study of the text prior to use of secondary sources), structural (observing logical connections as a key component of meaning), literary (recognizing the literary character of Scripture and the significance of literary context), historical (honoring the location of Biblical texts in their particular historical settings), theological (placing the passage in the context of the Scripture and Christian doctrine), and reverent (pursuing Biblical study humbly, prayerfully, under the influence of the Spirit)https://place.asburyseminary.edu/syllabi/1237/thumbna...
