Much more of the course will be dedicated to modeling how doctrine rightly distilled from Scripture serves as a lens that enables one to rightly discern more of Scripture's deep, rich, multifaceted witness to the Triune God of the gospel. Key doctrines to be considered and integrated into exegesis include the Creator-creature distinction, the Trinity, and the person of Christ.

This class will explain how figurative language works and describe methods for unpacking the depth of meaning embedded in it, paying special attention to the way in which figures are fulfilled in the revelation of Christ and how we can use this rich imagery in ministry.
