Each of us brings a lens to the Bible through which we interpret its pages. Often, this perspective is shaped by how we understand certain key verses and passages.
Leading biblical scholar Dr. Robert Gagnon will join us for this special opportunity to walk through fifteen such crucial passages, digging into their meaning and how they shape our understanding and application of the overall message of the Bible.
The course is available fully online. You can join live or watch the courses on your own time. This audit-only class has no required readings or assignments. Participants will focus on learning through Dr. Gagnon’s lectures, with the opportunity for interactive dialogue that will enhance understanding.
The course meets Thursdays, 6:00-9:00pm CST. It begins on August 21 and ends on December 4.
Robert Gagnon, Ph.D., is known the world over for being the foremost expert in the Bible’s view of homosexual practice, having risked his career to defend the historic scriptural view in a mainline denominational context while others kept silent. His book, The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Text and Hermeneutics, is considered the definitive work on the topic, along with his over 23 scholarly articles and presentations, and he continues to be a key voice in the contemporary debates on human sexuality. He is currently working to complete Speaking the Truth in Love, a book that will both update and popularize his research on homosexuality and transgenderism in the Bible. Dr. Gagnon is also working on a book about the most important passages in the Bible.
Dr. Gagnon has degrees from Dartmouth College (B.A.), Harvard Divinity School (M.T.S.), and Princeton Theological Seminary (Ph.D.). He has been a passionate teacher of Scripture for thirty years, first at Middlebury College, then for 23 years at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, and for the past 5 years at Houston Christian University and Seminary.
