suject Non-degree subjects: Spiritual Reading—Biblical Basics and Practice
content This is an introductory course in spiritual reading (lectio divina), suitable for believers who desire but rarely experience the presence of God when reading the Bible. Through theoretical explanations, practice, and reflection, course participants are expected to master the theological foundations, principles, required attitudes, and key points of each link in prayer-reading the Bible. There is a silent prayer practice in each class session.
