A Letter From the Instructor
Dear Student,
What is “hermeneutics,” and why should you study this topic? Please join me in an exploration of the science and art of biblical interpretation. In this course, we will study together the history, theology, and practice of interpreting God’s Word. My goal is to equip you with the tools you need to better explore the riches of Holy Scripture and apply its teaching to your life. I hope you will consider taking this course with me.
In Christ, Professor Berntson
