2023 Workshop Talk | 58:36 | Theology & Bible
Summary
The Bible is an extended argument whose conclusion is You should love God in Jesus with all your being and love His people as yourself. The argument comes to us in a form that appeals to and stimulates wonder and curiosity. It is not easy, however, to ensure that the goal of each Bible lesson properly coincides with the goal of the day’s Bible passage. Learn how the Old Testament builds its case step-by-step and how a dialectic-level lesson plan can facilitate the Bible’s own strategy of discovery rather than work at cross purposes to it.
Speaker
Christopher Jero is a former violinist to whom God gave a passion for making Jesus known through the Holy Scriptures. Believing that there is no more intimate way of communing with God in Scripture than through the original languages, Dr. Jero obtained an M.A. in Old Testament from Columbia International University and a Ph.D. in Hebrew and Cognate Studies from Hebrew Union College. Jero seeks to be an instrument by which God inspires the same passion in his students as he teaches both grade school and grad school classes. Since 2006, Jero has served at Mars Hill Academy (Mason, Ohio), teaching Bible, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew and conducting teacher training. Christopher is the author of Mother-Child Narratives and the Kingdom of God: Authorial Use of Typology as an Interpretive Device in Samuel-Kings; (Bulletin for Biblical Research 25, 2015) and Tense, Mood, and Aspect in the Biblical Hebrew Verbal System (in Where Shall Wisdom be Found? Eisenbrauns, 2017). Jero lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his wife Rebecca and four classically-educated children.
