I recently began teaching an adult education class at my church. The title is “Historical Backgrounds of the Bible – How did we get the scriptures?” The class is only 6 weeks long, with 5 remaining, so time is going to be really tight. Here is my plan for the classes:
- Old Testament overview
- New Testament overview
- Canon
- Transmission of scripture
- Translation of scripture
As you can see, covering the entire Old Testament in one night is going to make for a very broad survey. I’ll try to stick to the basics and facilitate conversation as best as I can.
Overall I am really excited for this course. This is my first experience of any kind in the role of teaching Bible to adults. Hopefully I will learn a lot and my class-goers will learn something too.
