1 Diploma: Foundations in Missional Training and Church Leadership BIBLE INTERPRETATION COURSE This is the first of eight courses being offered as part of the Diploma in Foundations of Missional Ministry & Church Leadership." This Diploma program is being offered in partnership with FORGE Canada. The training is prepared to serve the Diaspora leader who is seeking to be credentialed within a partner denomination. FACILITATOR: Dr. Michael Krause I. COURSE DESCRIPTION We all discover meaning in the words of the Bible. Even though most of it was written more than 2000 years ago to people who had different languages and cultures than we do, it still speaks to us today. This process of discovering what the text is really saying in its original context is called exegesis. Interpreting what that text means to us is called hermeneutics. This course is designed to help students read and study the Bible with greater understanding by teaching them the basics of good interpretation for the various types of literature (genres) that make up the Bible. Once we have understood the text and discerned its meaning we also need to communicate it to others. This course will also incorporate exercises that outline the text to help find the main idea of passage so that it can be taught and preached more effectively. The course is based on the book How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth (written by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart). It will incorporate online audio lectures by one of the authors (Stuart) from the Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary Foundations of the Faith Website. II. LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this course, you should be able to acquire a good knowledge of, and/or skills in the following: 1. The hermeneutical framework: how to progress from exegesis (what the text meant) to exposition (what it means to the Christian Church at large) and on to appropriation (what it means to individual members of the faith community). 2. The principles of good exegesis (or in the words of Randolph Tate: The World behind the Text ). 3. The major literary genres of the Old and New Testaments and how an understanding of each genre impacts interpretation (sometimes called the first horizon or The World of the Text ). 4. The role of our culture and current context in biblical interpretation (sometimes called the second horizon or The World in front of the Text ). 5. Models for biblical interpretation 6. The principles of proper appropriation and application
2 III. COURSE REQUIREMENTS A. REQUIRED TEXTS Fee, Gordon D., and Douglas Stuart. How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth. 3rd ed. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, In addition, each student must have access to at least two modern translations of the Bible, preferably employing different translation techniques. For example, students may choose one of the following dynamic translations: NIVI, NIV, NEB, GNB; and one of the following formal translations: NRSV, RSV, NASB, NKJV. B. REQUIRED ONLINE LEARNING Dimensions of the Faith course at the Ockenga Institute at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary called Studying the Bible for All Its Worth. Students must listen to at least ten of twelve online lectures and fill out the accompanying study guides. C. SUPPLEMENTARY / RECOMMENDED READING: Tate, W. Randolph. Biblical Interpretation: An Integrated Approach. 3rd ed. Peabody, Mass: Hendrickson, Walter C. Kaiser, J. Toward an Exegetical Theology. Biblical Exegesis for Preaching and Teaching. Grand Rapids: Baker, Sproul, R. C. Knowing Scripture. Downers Grove, Ill: IVP Books, 2009 D. ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADING 1. Online lectures and study guides 30% Due: Beginning of each class. Each student needs to listen to one online lecture each week for nine weeks (plus listen to the introductory lecture before the course starts for a total of ten lectures) and fill out the answers to the PDF study guides provided for each lecture. This lecture series is based on our required text (How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth) and presented by the author Dr. Douglas Stuart. The course is provided by the Ockenga Institute at the Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary website. Instructions for accessing the lectures are at the bottom of the page. 2. Class Participation 20% Because the Foundations of Missional Ministry course incorporates a cohort learning style, and because the class only meets 5 times, it is crucial that students attend and participate in all classes. Any class missed reduces the participation mark by 50% (i.e. 10% of total mark). Two missed classes results in a fail. 3. Preparing and presenting a Sermon or Bible Study a. Exegetical/Homiletic Outline 15% Due: Nov. 13 Prepare an exegetical outline (block diagram) of a pericope of scripture and include a possible homiletical outline.
3 b. Expositional Outline 20% Due: Nov. 25 Prepare an exposition of your passage (pericope). Cover all three levels of the hermeneutical framework: What it meant in the original context, what it means to the Christian church at large and what it means to you as a contemporary interpreter/reader. This will require consulting other resources and commentaries. c. Class Presentation 15% Due: Dec 9 Present you exposition as a 10-minute sermon or teaching to the rest of the class. The rest of the class will give feedback and analysis.

5 Core Values The four key deliverables of ethos are: Character Formation (facilitated by mentoring, peer learning, as well as an emphasis on spiritual formation) Community Life (facilitated by a community of leaders dynamic within the cohort) Competency Development (through assessing, coaching, and consulting leaders as they form missional communities) Course Instruction (well... through courses the real job here is to facilitate for a missional way of thinking about life in general and the community life of disciples in particular) A Community of Leaders As leaders follow God into His mission, they can often feel disconnected and even lonely. Developing missional communities that are focused on neighbourhood transformation and are designed for multiplication can be especially isolating, as many existing churches and church plants are following other ministry models. At its core, an ethos cohort is an answer to this challenge. We are convinced that leaders in missional communities need each other. We need to encourage, comfort, pray for, and challenge one another. There are lessons that God has to teach us in the company of other leaders. Leaders in mission need to engage in mission. Mission cannot be delegated; it must be modeled. It is not a task to be accomplished, as much as it is a way of life lived out of a heart that is over-flowing with God s love. But who ensures that the leader is modeling a life of Spirit-directed and empowered mission? Who will hold a leader accountable for the integrity of his character, for the vibrancy of his relationship with Jesus, or for the faithfulness of his action? Who will listen to a leader s heartache or gently restore her when she has failed? Who will rebuke a leader s pride or challenge a leader s faulty thinking? Leaders need community. Leaders need one another. Ethos is a community for missional leaders who know they need one another. Life in Ethos - A Rule of Life Over the winter months in 2011, the cohort will develop a Rule of Life that will guide them both individually and as a community. While the specifics of this Rule are best determined by the cohort with some facilitation, its content should spur the cohort on towards leadership that is focused on starting missional communities that will transform communities and multiply.
