Case Study: A unique part of your experience as a student at Colorado Christian University is that the University presents courses and course content in light of a biblical worldview. Foundational to understanding a biblical worldview, is understanding the message and purpose of Scripture. In our discussion this week, we asked you to practice applying Scripture to key words and topics. This is something that you will be asked to do throughout your time at CCU.

But, as in anything that you read, understanding the context is everything. Your reading in Bickel and Jantz (2003) this week also gives you a broad, sweeping view of the context of Scripture. After reading the story of the Bible in this format (with the five "acts"), as well as referencing this week's Biblical Perspective, answer the following questions in a question and answer format, but be sure to use complete sentences and check your spelling and grammar prior to submitting. In total, your assignment should be 250 - 500 words.

Questions:

1. According to Bickel and Jantz (2003), what is the main theme of the Bible? (Provide cited support from your text for this theme.)
2. How does this theme compare to your current view or understanding of the Bible?
3. How can understanding the big picture of the Bible help you as you seek to apply Scripture to course content? (Provide specific examples to support your response, making sure to also incorporate this week's Biblical Perspective reading.)
