The Christian world is divided over critical issues like politics, culture, and hermeneutics. There often doesn't seem to be a practical solution. But what if these areas are simply symptoms of a deeper problem? Without identifying the root cause of many divisions in the church, we cannot move forward, find common ground, or attain unity. This class offers a possible explanation for the difficulty in establishing a shared hermeneutic and focus within the church, along with a vision for how to pursue faithful Scripture readings and a Spirit-led unity that can help us address these issues that often cause discord.
