05/01/2024 to 05/30/2025 • Modified 05/02/2024Course Description
This year-long course allows women to focus on targeted areas of biblical study. Beginning with a study on the book of James, students consider arguments regarding the author, date, major themes, and practical applications of the scripture through inductive methods of Bible study. The topics explored include humility, perseverance, working faith, self-control, wisdom, and four things to avoid in the Christian life. Subsequently, students study the life of Jesus as the central figure in all of human history. These lessons explore and discuss the cultural, political, and historical environment present before, during, and after Jesus’s ministry. Finally, students study living as a godly woman in society. Through the study of biblical and contemporary characters, the student will examine femininity, faith, decisions, finances and stewardship, and family relationships. The course concludes with a project focused on the student’s understanding of biblical womanhood and role models.
