This class will continue the study of biblical hermeneutics by applying the principles of hermeneutics to the Pastoral Epistles (1 & 2 Timothy and Titus) with a particular focus on the book of Titus. The aim of this course will be to demonstrate how to apply the principles learned in Biblical Interpretation by an interactive exegetical study of the Pastoral Epistles focused primarily on the book of Titus. This study will seek to demonstrate how to draw out the original meaning of the text by due regard to its historical and literary context, and thereafter will consider its contemporary application.
