Here are some details of another of the modules which we are running this autumn.
Scripture encourages us to
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”
(2 Timothy 2:15)
That verse teaches us of the need to rightly handle the word of God; meaning, of course, that it is possible and easy to wrongly handle Scripture. There are basic principles of interpretation that will help keep us from mishandling and misapplying the truths of God’s word, and this foundational, year-long, course will give you the tools and skills you need to be a worker who has no need to be ashamed.
Over 30 Tuesday evenings between the end of September and next June, EBC’s Principal, experienced preacher and teacher John Brand, will guide you through the steps in interpreting Scripture – laying the foundation, observation, interpretation and application and how to see Christ in all of Scripture.
Held over zoom, you don’t even need to leave home to benefit from this course! And because all sessions are recorded, if the live teaching time doesn’t suit you, registered students can access and watch them at a convenient time of their own choosing.
There are two ways to get involved:
- You can audit the course – simply taking part, enjoying the teaching and online fellowship, and benefitting from lots of notes and materials
- you can submit assessments – completing assignments for marking and gaining EBC study credits
The course starts on Monday 26th September 2023 and runs from 7.00 – 9.00pm each Tuesday evening during College term time. Specific dates will be provided.
The cost is:
- auditing option: £150 per term (10 sessions @ £15 per night); £400 for the whole year if paid in advance
- assessments option: £200 per term (10 sessions @ £20 per night); £550 for the whole year if paid in advance
Please note that fees must be paid at least one term in advance. Registration is essential and can be done here.
