How to Read Scripture With Christ at the Center
CONTEXT → STORY → CHRIST → RESPONSE
18 lessons + capstone. Sign in to save your progress.
A foundational course in reading Scripture carefully — in context, as one story, with Christ at the center, leading to faithful response.
Module 1
Why Interpretation Matters
Everybody interprets Scripture. Faithful interpretation requires awareness of our assumptions, attention to context, and a willingness to let Scripture challenge us rather than using Scripture to confirm what we already believe.
Module 2
Context Before Application
Faithful interpretation begins by asking what a passage communicated in its original setting before asking what it means for us today.
Module 3
The Bible as One Story
The Bible is a collection of many books written across centuries, yet it tells one unfolding redemptive story.
Module 4
Christ at the Center
Christ stands at the climactic center of the biblical redemptive story. Faithful Christocentric interpretation traces legitimate canonical relationships rather than forcing Jesus into every detail.
Module 5
Handling Different Biblical Genres
All Scripture is inspired, but not all Scripture communicates in the same literary form. Genre is part of context.
Module 6
From Exegesis to Teaching
Faithful Bible teaching moves from observation to interpretation, from interpretation into the biblical storyline, from that storyline to Christ, and from Christ to faithful response.
