What Is That You’re Reading? (Introduction)

Welcome to the first session! In this video, we’ll introduce the Bible itself: what it is, how it came to us, and why reading it well requires attention and care. You’ll explore the Bible as many books with one unified message, learn why context and genre matter, and be introduced to the course’s guiding framework for reading Scripture contextually, canonically, and Christologically.
