Middle School Biblical Studies

The Biblical Studies Department presents the biblical narrative as the defining story for human life. The Middle School curriculum focuses on biblical literacy, particularly the central themes of the Old and New Testaments and the revelation of God in the person of Jesus. Upon completion of the Middle School Biblical Studies courses, students will be prepared to move on to the Upper School curriculum which reviews these themes, presents theological conclusions and implications, and explores the skills and insights necessary to build a spiritual and ethical life.

Biblical Studies 6: God's People in the Ancient World

Biblical Studies 6 works in tandem with History 6 to introduce students to the covenantal relationship between God and the Israelites and their unique place among the cultures and civilizations in the Ancient Near East. Students read Genesis and Exodus tracing God’s covenants from the creation of Adam through the faith of the patriarchs to the giving of the law to Moses. They continue with the books of Esther, Daniel, and Jonah, and then study Mark’s Gospel and Jesus’ unique place in the history of both that culture and ours. They end with selections from the book of Acts and the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire.

Biblical Studies 7: Old Testament Survey

Old Testament Survey reviews the covenantal relationships presented in Genesis and Exodus and then turns to a study of the judges, kings, priests, and prophets to gain an understanding that all human means of redemption fall short of God’s plan. Students analyze the history of Israel’s successes and failures, tracing the thread of God’s grace throughout. The need for a Messiah emerges, and the course comes to a climax with the Gospel of Matthew and the life of Jesus Christ, the author and perfecter of a new covenant.

Biblical Studies 8: New Testament Survey

New Testament Survey begins with a thorough study of the Gospel of Luke and the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth, analyzing his influence both in historic context and present relevance. Next, the students explore the theology of the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans, and then examine the epistles of Philippians, 1 John, and 2 Peter for a well-rounded understanding of the apostles' teaching on the nature of Christ, and the application of his call in our present culture.
