There
is a great need within Africa for trained Pastors because of syncretism
(the holding of two opposing beliefs at the same time) through lack of
sound biblical education. Many African churches hold their
ancestral belief system alongside Christianity.
If
figures are correct, thousands of people a day are coming to know the
Lord. This requires many Pastors and Teachers to be trained each
year to disciple these new believers. Furthermore, many more
willbe required for many of those who have yet to hear the Gospel
message.

Moriel
is a teaching ministry to believers that stresses the need to
rediscover the scriptures as Hebraic literature (as opposed to
Hellenistic literature) demanding the hermeneutic models of
Second Temple Period Judaism as a basis in biblical
interpretation. Essentially, this means an attempt to
rediscover the methods of interpretation used by the New
Testament writers.
We
note the Sits in Lebon of Biblical Jewish culture along
the lines of various scholars, but in order to see the greater
depth of contained meaning we adopt an understanding of early
midrashic models in addition to conventional
grammatical-historical models of interpretaton.
However,
we reject as Gnostic any attempts to build doctrinal theology on
symbolism or typology, although we press the need to use
typology and allegory to illustrate and illuminate doctrine. |
