Learn to Read the Bible with Clarity and Confidence
Too many Christians today feel unsure about how to read Scripture. Should it be read symbolically or literally? How do we handle confusing passages—or recognize when a passage points to Christ? In The Art of Biblical Reading, Dr. Adam Koontz guides you through a distinctively Lutheran approach to Scripture—one that is faithful, reverent, and confident in the unity of God’s Word.
Through seven thoughtful and engaging sessions, you’ll learn how to read the Bible as the Church always has: as a book inspired by God, centered in Christ, and meant to be understood by His people.
Topics Covered in the Course
- Why the Bible should be read literally, historically, and theologically—not skeptically.
- How allegory and typology can deepen (not diminish) faithful interpretation.
- The connection between Scripture, tradition, and the Church’s reading of the Word.
- Common mistakes modern readers make—and how to avoid them.
- How to read difficult or disputed passages without fear or confusion.
- What it means to confess the unity of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.
- The role of the preacher and hearer in preserving the clarity of the text.
If you’re a pastor, teacher, Bible study leader, or simply want to grow in your confidence and joy in Scripture, this course is for you.
