This course is focused on helping students grow in their understanding of and proper interpretation of the English Bible. This is accomplished through the study of two main topics: 1.) A review of English grammar including parts of speech, form and function of words, the importance of phrases and clauses, and more. 2.) Students are also introduced to block diagramming, which is a method of organizing the biblical text according to the function of each phrase in order to better identify the main idea of a given passage.
