Global Readings of Scripture for Christian Ministry

1 credits · Divinity School

In this course, students explore how to read the Bible with others—global Christian communities in Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and the Middle East. This course facilitates reading the Bible with various communities who read the Bible as the Holy Scripture and the Word of God, especially communities whose voices are often relegated to the margins. By honoring various minoritized hermeneutics in biblical studies, students will learn to develop ministerial strategies for approaching biblical texts about various theological questions with humility and openness.
