Overview
In Reading the Bible as a Complete Story Chip Bennett and Warren Gage teach that the Bible’s sixty-six book collection is ultimately the profound work of a divine author and tells one story with Jesus as the central theme. Drs. Bennett and Gage argue that such a reading of the Bible is consistent with the context of other Hellenistic literature, which leads us to understand Scripture as a beautiful, poetic comedy that ends in a divine marriage between Christ and His bride, the church. Such an Alexandrian reading of the Bible does not contradict but rather complements a traditional historical-grammatical hermeneutic, providing a more holistic reading of Scripture and opening up entirely new vistas in understanding the Bible.
Upon successful completion you should be able to:
- Summarize the story line of the Bible
- Explain what an Alexandrian reading of Scripture looks like, and provide illustrations from the Bible
- Discuss major themes found in Scripture, including the themes of third day resurrection, the transition from suffering to glory, and the bride of Christ, and trace them through both the Old and New Testaments
- Explain the genre of Scripture from a Hellenistic perspective and compare it to traditional fairy tales in folk literature
- Demonstrate how to see Christ in all of Scripture

Interesting introduction into oft-neglected concepts. We gain valuable insight into what God is like and how he works as we see repeated patterns in scripture: God has done this before! The instructors work their way through the typologies shown in the course outline above, briefly pointing to insights that become clear when we apply this kind of discipline. There are many additional typologies in Scripture. This is a good launching point to help us think about them and recognize them.

Extraordinary. I only wish it was longer. I doubt I ever would have picked this course from the description alone. I subscribe to Mobile Ed from time to time and am often surprised by those courses that I am not excited about at first and how they often end up being one of the most valuable of what I have surveyed. I just finished the videos and have just finished weeping. I was ministered to so deeply by the last part of the course. Some of the introductions had me wondering what was to come in the following section and then deep truths of connection would come forth that would give me deeper appreciation of Christ and the entire biblically story. So often, I have seen the church reactionary in theological bent-- our human nature, I suppose. The bible is a gem with many facets. I am happy to have discovered another. May God keep us out of the ditches and draw us deeper into understanding and relationship with Him. This course has lots of reference readings to the Ancient Christian Commentary set, which I do not yet own, but have on my radar for the future.
