About the “Missing the Mark”: Sin in Biblical Theology course
This online course will explore the complexity of the Bible’s understanding of the human condition, especially as revealed in comparison to the semantics of the English word “sin” and how it has been used in religious language over the centuries in the church and in theological circles.
The course will focus on the wide range of key terms in the Bible’s vocabulary for “sin” that reveal an understanding far richer than the Church’s conventional notions.
