These include: learning the Eastern way of communicating; 6 categories of context and how to recognize them in scripture; the use of allusion in the Bible; recognizing theological chronologies; how parables were used, and so on. Once these tools have been introduced, RVL ends this unit by outlining the “central thread” that ties the Bible (and the mission of a disciple) together: the idea of bringing shalom back to chaos.Season 1 of 4· The Commitment—the Shema as foundational· The Pond—an Easter vs Western mindset· The Tree—the 6 categories of context· The Coals—John 21:9, 2 Sam 22:7-9, Rom 12:20· The Wine—John 2:7-9, Joel 2:1, 18· The Stone—experiential knowledge, join the story, we are invited to be a part of it· The Blind Man—Mark 8:22-26, do we get it?· The Sand—parables, house, sand, Matt 7:24-27· The Tohu—in the beginning, Genesis 1· The Shalom—bringing shalom into chaosThis class includes a 113 page workbook to get the most from this ground-breaking study.
