Reading and Interpreting the Bible 
Induction, RE and Formation
Target Audience:  All Staff and Other Parishoners

Overview
The Bible is an inspired work that has God's revelation as its subject. It is the work of human authors conditioned by time, place and culture.   The authors wrote from their historical frame of reference and hence a reader must take into account such factors as the time of writing, the purpose of the book, the theology of the author and community. 

The workshops focus on practical methods of interpreting biblical passages and will:
  • Model the 3 Worlds approach to interpreting selected texts.
  • Illustrate the key process of genre recognition.
  • Explore realistic ways of applying the messages of Scripture to students' lives.

​
Duration
This is a one day professional development opportunity to upskill teachers in their understanding of the Bible and its application and use with students.
