Biblical Hermeneutics

How to Study & Interpret the Bible Faithfully and Effectively 

A Free Online Course Offered by SIBBC&S Online Programs 

A Sample Lecture - Introducing the 4 Step Methodology

📖 Course Overview

Biblical Hermeneutics is the foundation for interpreting God’s Word accurately. This course introduces you to the inductive method of Bible study, a proven approach that includes observation, interpretation, correlation, and application. You will explore how these steps apply across various biblical genres with a focus on historical, grammatical, rhetorical, and cultural methods of interpretation.

 

Whether you're a pastor, lay leader, or Bible student, this course will deepen your understanding of Scripture and help you in its faithful interpretation.

🎯 Why This Course Matters

Today, many see the Bible as outdated or irrelevant, even within the Church. Sermons often sound repetitive. Christian living doesn’t always reflect biblical values. The joy of reading Scripture is fading.

​

But what if the Bible could come alive again, fresh, powerful, and transforming? This course will not only equip you with tools for interpreting Scripture, but also renew your love for God’s Word.
