Today’s seminary and religious education instructors are expected to design and redesign their courses more nimbly than in the past. They must adapt courses to new learning environments, more diverse learners, and more diverse vocations—all while receiving fewer rewards from their institutions for the extra time they invest in course design.
Understanding Bible by Design helps you revise your courses quickly, intuitively, and effectively. G. Brooke Lester introduces an approach to course design that is time-efficient and grounded in a firm commitment to “big ideas and essential questions.” Contributors Jane Webster and Christopher Jones demonstrate the value of this method for the biblical studies instructor—whether seminary or university, face-to-face or online, intimate seminar or massive lecture hall.
