Which Biblical-Interpretation Bundle Is Right for You?

We all know that reading the Bible is very important, but how much time do we invest in really digging deep to understand and interpret it? It’s challenging to make sure we’re interpreting the text in light of the historical, social, and literary contexts in which it was written. Reading and understanding are both a part of growing “in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet. 3:18).

The Mobile Ed Studies in Biblical Interpretation Bundle is designed to help you better understand and interpret the Bible. In this bundle, leading experts on the biblical world guide you through the nuances of the biblical contexts.

Furthermore, for the first time, you can choose from three different sizes of bundles, depending on how deep you want to go with your study. The small bundle has two courses, the medium bundle has four, and the large bundle has seven.

Small bundle

The small bundle includes two courses surveying important aspects of biblical interpretation. In BI103 Principles of Bible Interpretation, Dr. Craig Keener, author of the IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament, gives basic training in the principles of biblical interpretation, drawing on his extensive research on the ancient world. In BI131 Introducing Literary Interpretation, Dr. Jeannine Brown, author of Scripture as Communication: Introducing Biblical Hermeneutics, teaches the importance of seeing each book in its own literary context, as well as the importance of genre.

Medium bundle

In the medium bundle, you’ll get two additional courses that take a closer look at interpreting the different literary genres found in the Bible. In OT201 Old Testament Genres, Dr. John Walton, author of Ancient Near Eastern Thought and the Old Testament, walks you through the genres of the Old Testament and discusses their various purposes. In BI260 Interpreting New Testament Genres, Dr. William Klein teaches the nuance of New Testament genres and is a guide to the best practices for interpreting each book in light of those genres.

Large bundle

The large bundle adds three more courses on specific areas of biblical interpretation. In NT201 The Cultural World of the New Testament, Dr. David deSilva, author of An Introduction to the New Testament, teaches about the major cultural elements present in the biblical world and provides historical context for the study of the New Testament. In BI190 The Use of the Old Testament in the New Testament: Methodology and Practice, Dr. Brown provides a great framework for understanding how the New Testament authors quoted the Old Testament, guiding you through the interpretive principles in play and walking you through application studies for practice. And in BI271 Interpreting New Testament Narrative: Studies and Methods, Dr. Brown focuses on the narrative genre of the New Testament Gospels and provides a holistic approach to reading and understanding the Gospel narratives.
