When the Bible Comes Alive: Teaching Scripture Through the Lenses of Context
Description
The Bible comes alive when learners understand it in its original context. In this session, we will explore how the lenses of history, geography, culture, literary design, language, and visual context help us read Scripture as its writers intended. These tools not only deepen biblical understanding, but also equip young learners to explore God's Word with greater curiosity, confidence, and care. As learners grow in their ability to understand and love Scripture, they are invited into lives of transformation and into joining God's work of restoration in the world.
