Making sense of the Bible for ourselves and others is central to Christian ministry. But it can be surprisingly complex. We need to grapple with big questions about how texts work, how we should interpret them, and how to help others make sense of the Scriptures. These questions are particularly acute when we come to read Genesis 1–3, especially as we consider its implications for issues such as science and the environment, marriage and family, and gender and sexuality. This forum will introduce you to these questions, help you develop a coherent approach to reading and applying these texts (and others) to your life and ministry.

This forum day is the first of four semi-intensive days for OT758 Hermeneutics and Genesis 1–3. Please contact us (by Monday 22 July at the latest) if you would like to enrol in that unit.
