Jacob GrotjanTool, TXCompassionate and Experienced Professor of Biblical Studies
I extensively study and teach college courses in Hermeneutics (biblical interpretation), ancient Hebrew, Koine (common) Greek, Old Testament studies, New Testament studies, and general subject matter within the field of biblical studies. As a compassionate and experienced professor of biblical studies, I am dedicated to teaching students how to properly read, study, and apply biblical principles to their lives, encountering Jesus in a multitude of ways along the journey. In fact, studying the Bible is all about connecting with Jesus. However, there are plenty of errors that naturally occur when a student is self-taught, such as eisegesis (saying and teaching something the biblical text does NOT actually say), false teaching (1 Tim. 1:3) and seeking to master Scripture with a heart that does not honor God (pride). However, instead of falling into these issues above, I will teach you how to derive sound biblical principles, using appropriate steps and methodologies, to find meaning in biblical passages and apply those meanings.
NOTE: When scheduling your first appointment with my calendar availability, please select the 30-min option FIRST. The goal of this first session is for me to gather more information about you, your interests in biblical studies, your prior knowledge, etc. After this assessment is conducted, a short/long-term plan is formulated to your specific needs that you and I have discussed.
