Dr. William Klein discusses how to interpret various New Testament genres (:10), and Dr. Steven Runge talks about Greek prepositions in the Faithlife Language Lab (2:51).

See how genre affects Scripture

The Bible is a complex mix of literary genres that spans several centuries. Understanding how to properly read and interpret it is challenging. Develop a new level of competency in interpreting the New Testament with Dr. William Klein’s guidance and insight on New Testament genres. Learn how to interpret the different genres found in the New Testament epistles. Distinguish which events in Acts are meant to be descriptive (describing what happened) and which are meant to be prescriptive (instructing on how to live). You’ll also discover how the book of Revelation combines three genres, and how this affects its interpretation.

Start studying biblical genres with Dr. William Klein with the Interpreting New Testament Genres course.
