The Licentiate of Biblical Studies gives you the in-depth knowledge and skills needed to understand the Old and New Testaments. It gives you the hermeneutical skills to interpret any passage of Scripture.
The Licentiate of Biblical Studies qualification is for people who want a comprehensive approach to studying some of the most important and defining books and passages of the Bible in detail.
Start the journey of critical analysis and learn for yourself what the Bible is saying in the past, present and future. Understanding the Bible is a critical part of your relationship with God. It gives meaning and answers to your faith.
What is a Licentiate of Biblical Studies? Licentiate comes from the Latin licentia, “freedom” which is applied in the phrases licentia docendi meaning permission to teach and licentia ad practicandum signifying someone who holds a certificate of competence to practise a profession i.e. Bible teacher, pastor, ministry, theology or parish life.
The Licentiate of Biblical Studies is part of the Axx Bible and Theology Specialisation. This stream is a systematic approach to understanding the Bible and Theology. It starts by building a foundation of introductory concepts and grows into discussing some of the most interesting and important passages of the Bible doctrines about God.
As Christianity is a text-related faith, interpretation of the Scriptures has always been essential, and often controversial, it is a feature of Christian theology and praxis. Part 1: Hermeneutics in History reviews and extends students understanding of exegetical methods in history and considers issues that arise such as the use of allegory, the arguments over the role of the authors, the text and the reader.

It’s quite good to go through the hermeneutics
it brought more understanding of the study of the Bible
Through the learning of this subject, (Biblical Hermeneutics, I have mastered the art of Bible interpretation which will have a great post impact on my Ministry and my Career ahead
Through this course I learnt evolution and reformation of Holy scriptures. This module gave me a chance to learn the words of God better and understand His plan for my life. I also learnt that only the original scripture gives you a good way of translation as well as interpretation.
The unity have given me alot on the view of the old testament and new testament authorship cultural, historic and the origins message of the author. The intended meaning for the original audience depending on the time and circumstances during authorship. It has widen my ability of understanding the passage and interpretation of texts. Am morely yearning for more and more teaching and lectures from the cause.
This has been very educative learning understanding the developments of Bible and the church between centuries.
I have discovered deep insight through the language power of learning.
The course is wholesome and very educative and effective and efficient tools for reshaping the mind with up to date knowledge/information to ground me on solid ground of reliable and dependable resource.

it keeps getting more interesting by the day to understand the word of God
all thanks to AXX MANAGEMENT AND THE ENTIRE TEAM FOR THIS WORD TO SHARE THE WORD GOD
Through this module I learnt and understood principles of Bible interpretation, qualities of a good interpreter… I got all necessary baggage to become a good servant of God. Amen!
Understanding circumstances, cultural factors and customs of people and their political and social living as part of the Bible author’s Commitments has been a good discovery and experience.
Once again this course is critical, difficult but most important to a student undergoing Biblical course like me . It has sharped me, mainly historical and literary context to understand the text. This has helped me very much.
BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS II
Genre as a principle of Bible interpretation deals with the literal styles of the text. Each genre has its rules of interpretation which must be considered in Biblical hermeneutics.
There are quiet several genres found in the Bible; the primary ones are as below, just to mention but a few.
• Poetic prayers and songs (Psalms), they figure of speech, symbolism and parallelism.
• Proverbs, short sayings of Godly morals
• Prophecy, God’s speaking through Prophets in foretelling and forthtelling ways
• History, details of the redemptive history
• Parables, symbolic stories with spiritual meaning. (Brown, 2021)
AGE OF HERMENEUTICS CRITICISM
There are three ages of hermeneutics criticism. Age of the Author, age of Text and age of the Reader.
The Age of the Author
The Age of the Author; hermeneutics realism and Non-realism was introduced by Reformers; Schleiermacher puts it between 1768- 1834. It emphasizes on author’s interpretation, that is the human or divine interpretation (author-oriented hermeneutics). It states that a text is understood when the author consciousness is recovered, language and literature expresses thoughts, grammar gives us access to psychology and that the goal of interpretation is to understand the text as well as the its author or better than the author.
The Age of the Text
The Age of the Text; hermeneutics rationality and relativism, introduced in 1940s, it dealt with knowledge and epistemology meaning. That is the nature and method of literary knowledge, Text formal features (text, the whole text, nothing but the text). Structuralist (integrity of the text, linguistic and literary conventions other than text historical context). It is a Text-Oriented method of interpretation for describing immanent sense of the text. It explains the text’s forms and structure (knowledge about the text) other than to understand the knowledge of what the text is all about.
The Age of the reader
The Age of the reader; hermeneutic responsibility or free play. It dealt with the reader and ethics of meaning in 1970s and 1980s. it looked at the role of the reader, it was termed as the reader liberation movement, the readers revolt and the revenge of the reader. It was a reaction to the structuralist idea of text is an object independent of both author and reader. It found out that a reading is a dot to dot exercise, a reader reads within a tradition (social and cultural prejudice) or horizon. That is, meaning is an interaction between text and the reader (two horizons). The reader puts the questions to the text or uses the text for his or her own purpose. Thus, the text is giving the reader an opportunity to pursue his or her own agenda. Here the text is inactive, and the reader is the producer of the meaning. (Vanhoozer, 2009)

Some lessons in this unit are a bit technical especially to a student whose first language is not English (for me as an African) – particularly “grammar and structure of grammar”. Whereas it’s quite necessary – my suggestion would be – include another lesson or two – to deal with some of these English grammar technicalities.
Over all – this a great unit, I have learnt a lot.

This unit is quite a good one as it deals with quite practical issues we find in the Bible. it is a great eye opener to the ministers/teachers of the Bible.
I have not been active in my studies for a couple of weeks because I was unwell; then as i recovered, my father in law passed on.
I truly value this training, it is so helpful.

BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS 3: A REVIEW
PENTECOSTAL HERMENEUTICS
Pentecostal arise from early religious groups such as healing. Revival, holiness, restoration and millenarian movements. These movement shaped the biblical interpretation of the Pentecostal since it borrowed heavily from them.
Some of the early practices in Biblical interpretation is that of reading the Bible literally, narrowing the distance between the original context of the Scripture and the context of the reader, reading through the experience of the Holy Spirit, through five-fold Gospel where Jesus is the savior, sanctifier, Spirit, Baptizer, healer and a coming soon King. Other are as follows. (Martin, 2013)
They used intertextuality; tracing themes from Genesis to Revelation.
They considered the narrative quality of the scripture; entered the world of the Bible.
Used the experience of the Holy spirit (supernatural); divine revelation.
Viewed the Bible as a live story; narrative parts of the Bible
They believe the biblical story has a beginning, a center and a goal in Jesus Christ.
They believe the Holy spirit will restore the church to its original state.
They believed the end is near: eschatological expectation.
They believed the world must be saved; evangelism.
Modern Pentecostals approach scriptures in some of the ways mentioned below:
• Believe in the supernatural: Holy Spirit inspiration that surpasses human understanding.
• Experience of the Holy Spirit is important to knowing the truth.
• The Spirit invites everyone to be a witness of the truth.
• Knowledge of truth is one with the community of Christ. (Martin, 2013)

I have observed that the following points are very important in this lesson. Historically context and literary contest. The bible needs to be read very broadly.
This study has provided the right information and understanding for proper guidance on church matters administratively.
The context can have more than one meaning for specific reason for specific people.
My Bible study life has been challenged to read more.
Take a closer look at Jesus & the Gospels in part one of this course, as you unpack the key structures and themes in the first four books of the New Testament. Explore the life and work of Jesus and understand the gospels at a deeper level.

Thank you Axx Bible College for the opportunity to “unlearn” some things and helping me learn more fundamental and significant things from this training. It is so helpful to me as a believer and as a minister of the Gospel.
Blessings to you all.
The unit has exposed me to more learning and a little bit more mind stretching.
The Lecturer Dr. U- Wen has very good command of the content and he is quite articulate. I really appreciate his commitment to his calling and ministry.
I would suggest some a bit more notes in the teaching slides – some slides have virtually very few notes.
Thank you for the opportunity accorded to me and many others to learn.
Blessings to you all.
The four gospels have witnessed that Jesus was and is the hero of the History.
It’s quite fascinating to learn and relearn the dimensions of the gospel which contain profound information.
Vital diagnostic kits.
Learning the History of Jesus through the Gospels and other sources has helped me to critically go more deeper to know Jesus.
JESUS AND THE GOSPEL 2: A REVIEW
NEW TESTAMENT WORLD IN BRIEF
The land of Palestine
Christianity originally began in the land of Palestine, it is in this land that Jesus ministered, died, and rose again. The land of Palestine according to Tacitus a Roman historian, is located to East of Arabia, to the South is Egypt, Phoenicia and the Mediterranean to west and Syria to the North. It had fertile soil, a river that flows into two lakes and to the Jewish Sea.
Syria and Phoenicia encompass upper and lower Galilees which were large with about fifteen thousand inhabitants. Jesus’ ministry spread to the cities of Samaria, Judea, Perea up to Jerusalem the capital city where Jesus died and rose again.
Governance in Palestine
Division of the Middle East after the death of Alexander the great in 323 B.C., so the domination of two families, the Seleucids in Syria, and Ptolemies in Egypt who later ruled Palestine. After a hundred years, the Seleucids gained control in 175 B.C. and Antiochus Epiphanes became the ruler. Antiochus Hellenized the land and destroyed the Temple which later led to the Maccabee revolt.
In 63 B.C. Pompey took Jerusalem and establish Roman rule in Palrstine, 37-4 B.C. Herod the great ruled and rebuild the temple, this ushered in the dynastic rule of the Herodians from sons to grandsons. Herod son Archelaus ruled in 4 B.C. to A.D 6, Herod Antipas (the Fox) 4 B.C. to A.D. 36, Herod Philip 4 B.C. to A.D. 34, Herod Agrippa I A.D. 41 to 44.
A.D. 6, the Rome appointed Procurators who had power of life and death (death penalty) and reported directly to the emperor. Procurator Pontius Pilate ruled A.D. 26-36, Fadus ruled A.D. 44-66, Albinus A.D. 62-64, and Florus A.D. 64-66. Fadus and Albinus rule were full is misrule that caused the Jews war in A.D. 66-77. In A.D. the Temple was destroyed and fall of Masada in A.D. 73.
The People of Palestine
The inhabitants of Palestine consisted of Jews God’s chosen people, Samaritan, the Gentiles, and other groups hardly mentioned. The Jews were divided into groups of Pharisees in schools of Shammai and Hillel. The Sadducees, the Essence, the Zealots. Other group involved the Am-Ha-Aretz, the Samaritans, the Gentiles, Tax collectors and Women. This group had a socioeconomic and religious effect in relation to Jews culture and religious custom.
Other source of history
The story of the New Testament is also found in other sources like Jewish writings by Josephus, Origen, Rabbinic material, and the Babylonian Talmud. Pagan writings by Tacitus, Lucian of Samosata, Syrian Mara bar Serapion and the Christian Testimony sources.

It was a journey which was so educative and with great lessons to learn.
I have learnt that in the early church as well today’s church we meet challenges. Leadership has to take bold decisions to end those challenges , and evil powers through the help of Holy Spirit. Jesus is connected to church and its expansion.
The course was very educative and giving broad knowledge on the book of acts.
This study has really helped me especially in the area of resolving internal problems of the church. It has brought forth some light in the choosing of leaders to help run the church so that as a pastor I may concentrate on Prayer and the ministry of the word.
No matter how devil will interfere or hinder or block the work of God always there is success at long last.
Listening to intently, my life being tremendously impacted. I teachings have not left me the same. My view of the new testament, the book Acts in particular, the lesson from witnessing how God is working with His servants is exemplary. Thank You

In this book of Acts, learnt the Historical record of early church. As it was in the early period of Church, leadership wrangles, opposition of Gospel, this as well is happening today. Need to learn from this early church to do better today.
We need to be a model and speak encouragingly as Paul did
Doing ministry calls for much involvement and time investment.
My Bible study made easy and sober, no more try and error.
Doing ministry calls for much involvement and a lot of time investment. It also calls for waiting on God for the power of his Spirit for boldness, encouragement and Spiritual declarations.
I learnt more about the ministry of Paul.
His journeys to various parts of the world taking to them the gospel, performance of miracles like healing, deliverance and teaching .
His persecution and arguments about the Godhead and the Christ really inform my thinking and perspective.
The Pentateuch, as the first section of Christian Scriptures, lays the foundation for understanding the whole Bible. This part the Pentateuch, authorship, and how-to exegete the text. It examines the books of Genesis and Exodus its major themes.

For you to give God anything has to come from ones heart to accepted by God.
Understanding the structure and the tabernacle of worship in the old testament and relating it with today’s worship in the church which is from our hearts is a great revelation.
Hearing someone else tell you what you have heard in their own context changes how you view, increases your knowledge base, and makes you apreciate what you have learnt. That is my experience
Looking into the five books of Moses, has been, educative, awaken and has created a new perspective of how I view this great work. Thank you

The expose or romans and galatians has opened my understanding on the way Paul expressed himself. This has further helped me not to misinterpret Paul and his writings, which we often do.

The old testament which is the Law provides frustration and condemnation, but living by the spirit which is like an engine to the christian believer makes the christian live by God, abide in God and obey God. We can please God by walking in God’s Spirit.
