Our Next Course:

An Introduction to Biblical Theology

As part of our ongoing committment at the Vine to bring you relevant theological depth to your discipleship walk, we are very pleased to announce that our next course will be "An Introduction to Biblical Theology". This four week course provides an overview of the big picture of Scripture, focusing on how the Old Testament and New Testament tell one unique and unified redemptive story. This is our entry-level theology course at the Vine and is designed to be relevant to both new-comers to theology as well as established arm-chair 'scholars' who want to take things to a deeper level. The teaching will be interactive and diverse, and each week will build upon the last with plenty of time for classroom discussion and engagement.

This course will cover the following topics:

* Understanding the overall narrative and themes of the Old and New Testaments

* Learning how to read the bible as one unified story that centers on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus

* Working with a simple model for understanding the unity of Scripture and applying this model to your personal bible reading and study

* Tools to help you interpreative Scripture with confidence and maturity, taking into account the wider context of passages and their relevance to the overall story

The course starts on Saturday, September 18th and runs for four consecutive Saturday mornings from 10:00am to 1:00pm at the Vine Centre (2/f, Two Chinachem Plaza, 135 Des Voeux Road, Central).

The course costs HK$200 and is open to anyone who is interested to attend.

This course is designed to provide you with the neccessary cultural and historical context to the early church in order to help illuminate your reading of the New Testament, in particular Paul's letters. We will spend some time discussing the unique Greco-Roman culture and history that is essential for a clear understanding of the issues and context in which Paul wrote to the church, with a special emphasis on the book of 1 Corinthians.
