One aspect of teaching the Bible is the educational methods which addresses the question of: How is religious education undertaken and realized? This question will be explored in the context of other educational questions which address the content, nature, purposes, context, and interpersonal relationships of any teaching ministry. This course focuses upon the content of the Bible in the context of Hawaii and considers a variety of ways in which to use the Bible in group learning.
