But what are we to do with the littler stories? We warn you about an overly simplistic approach, \u201cbe like David.\u201d But still; might there not be more? I am sure that there is; but how do we get that \u201cmore\u201d? This class will straddle hermeneutics, Biblical theology, and apologetics; in it we will work together to develop an approach that does justice to redemptive history, story, and worldview, as well as to the place of these stories in the moral formation of faithful communities, shaping their likes and dislikes for virtues and vices. We will consider narratives from both the Old Testament and the New.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The above is a description from C.
