Teaching the Bible in the 21st Century
The Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion convened a consultation of Biblical scholars to discuss academic teaching and learning about the Bible and to make recommendations regarding teaching about the Bible in college, universities, and theological schools.
Goals:
• To consider the pedagogical uses of various methods for interpreting the Bible (historical, literary, and theological) and to reflect on the relations between these approaches.
• To consider how the institutional setting (e.g. department of religious studies, theological seminary) shapes the way in which the Bible is taught.
• To encourage practices of teaching that enable students to connect the historical origins of the Bible to its reception and use within church and synagogue.
• To discuss the relationship between the NT and the OT/Hebrew Bible and to explore pedagogical strategies for bringing these fields of study into mutually enriching dialogue.
• To examine strategies for teaching the biblical languages--and for teaching biblical exegesis to students who have not taken biblical languages.
• To consider how we may best teach the Bible in a diverse and increasingly postliterate culture.
• To explore the problems and possibilities for new technologies for teaching and learning (computers, internet, etc.).
• To encourage practices of teaching that enable students to read the texts both critically and sympathetically, including exploration of the history of biblical interpretation in church and synagogue.
• To consider the personal discipline and spiritual formation required for teachers and students of the Bible.
