Run With The Vision
RWVM Courses Offered 2021
RWVM School of Ministries
School Objectives
The RWVM School of Ministries is designed to challenge students to engage deeply with biblical texts and secondary sources to gain a broader picture of biblical anthropology and archaeology.
- To challenge the student to engage in close study of the original language with the aid of study books.
- To consider ancient secondary sources.
- To provide a guide on how to research and build up a bibliography for recent landmark work in biblical anthropology and social sciences.
- To discover a better understanding of a woman’s place in the economy of God according to the Hebrew and Christian New Testament Scriptures.
This involves deconstruction of the text, the interpretive process, woman as interpreter, and looking at Scriptures from a woman’s perspective.
