ntroduction: What does it mean to be biblically literate as an adult learner? Why must we “walk through” the Bible” to grasp its stories, its structure, and its geography? How should our relationship to the Bible be different as we work toward a college degree? How does this course on Biblical Literacy support the outcomes of ORU’s ‘Gen Ed’ program to help you grow in mind, body and spirit as you serve God and others?
