Bible
MS Biblical Literacy and Interpretation
Grades: 7, 8
Couse description
In this middle school Bible course, students increase their biblical literacy by reading key stories and passages from the Bible. As students progress through this course, they not only identify the setting, characterization, plot, and theme(s) of biblical passages but also identify how each passage aligns with the biblical themes of creation, fall, and redemption. In addition, students analyze what each passage says (observation), what it means (interpretation), and how they should respond as they come to more deeply understand its message (application). At the end of each semester, students demonstrate their understanding of the Bible and study methods by selecting, observing, interpreting, and applying a biblical passage of their choice.
