About Integrating Exegesis and Exposition: Biblical Communication for Transformative LearningIntegrating Exegesis and Exposition introduces biblical study (exegesis) and the communication of the Bible in preaching and teaching (exposition). Communicators will learn to incorporate the process of Bible study into their presentation of the message. Learners in turn will discover how to understand the portion of Scripture being taught, and develop their own skills in Bible study. Christopher Cone states that the study, practice, and communication of the Bible are interconnected. The relationship between these three suggests that communicators of the Bible ought to take a more holistic and integrated approach to handling the Bible—an approach that is modeled in the Bible itself. |
