Introduction to Scripture invites students into friendship with God through the revelation expressed in the Old and New Testaments.  Students explore the nature and development of these writings and come to understand the Jesus of History and the Christ of Faith. The course provides tools of interpretation and methods of discerning inspiration, progressing through an appreciation of symbolism and the vitality of the “word”.  Students have an opportunity to study the evolution from oral traditions to the early written scriptures in the early church community.
