Session 3: How to Read Biblical Poetry
One-third of the Bible is written in poetry, making it a vital and powerful part of Scripture. Far more than just beautiful language, biblical poetry uses vivid imagery, metaphor, and creative expression to stir the heart, awaken the imagination, and invite deeper reflection on God and His world.
In this session, you’ll explore two essential lessons: Poetry and Poetic Metaphor. These lessons will help you understand how biblical poets use structure, repetition, and figurative language to convey truth in a way that speaks to both the mind and the soul. As you engage with this creative genre, you’ll discover how biblical poetry invites us to see, feel, and respond to God’s truth in ways that prose alone cannot.
