I am Dr. Lee Roy Martin. I am a former pastor and now Associate Pastor. I also am a professor of Old Testament and Biblical languages at the Pentecostal Theological Seminary.
I developed this course for those interested in sharpening their skills to properly interpret the Bible for today’s church. Through TV, social media, and the internet, we are faced with a dizzying array of biblical interpretations. Some are good and edifying, but others are little more than sensationalism at best and false teaching at worst. How do we discern the difference between good and bad?
