Overview & Syllabus:
Interpreting the Bible
Overview & Syllabus | Policies | Technical Requirements

Course Description
Rather than merely presenting the metaphysical meanings behind the words and stories of the Bible, this course provides you with the tools necessary to interpret the Bible for yourself. You’ll examine familiar and unfamiliar Bible stories and find new insights in them. For example, have you ever considered the insights the story of Cain and Abel can offer you about relationships in your own life?
This course will help you learn to:

  • Define Biblical symbols metaphysically and use them to interpret scriptural passages and stories.
  • Understand Bible characters as representing elements of your own consciousness.
  • Use the Bible as a practical tool for personal growth and development.

Required Books

  • The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible(While other Bibles are permitted, NRSV is the Bible version generally used in Unity Institute.)
  • Let There Be Light (Elizabeth Sand Turner)

Books of Interest:
Although they won’t be used in the classroom, you might find these nonrequired books helpful as you prepare for the course.

 

Assignments
Complete assigned reading, use the weekly learning guide, and participate in the weekly online discussions.

Grading
The class is graded pass/fail, with a passing score based on your participation in the Discussion Forums for Lessons 1 through 8.
