Dr. Kevin A. Powe introduces the Orthodox Biblical Hermeneutics curriculum, a seminary-level academic series designed to strengthen biblical interpretation through a blend of historical-grammatical exegesis, Christocentric theology, and spiritual formation. The curriculum includes a flagship textbook, an interactive student workbook, and a TRACS-aligned instructor manual with sample syllabi. Together, these resources provide a structured framework for theological education, integrating rigorous scholarship with practical ministry application. Aimed at seminary students, ministry leaders, and theological educators, the series emphasizes interpretive discipline, doctrinal depth, and faithful engagement with Scripture across academic and ecclesial settings.

Cypress - 18th June, 2026: A major new academic curriculum in biblical interpretation is bringing together theological rigor, spiritual formation, and classroom-ready instruction for seminary and university students. Authored by Dr. Kevin A. Powe, the Orthodox Biblical Hermeneutics series presents an integrated educational framework designed to strengthen biblical literacy, interpretive discipline, and theological depth within higher education and ministerial training environments.

The curriculum is anchored by the flagship textbook, Orthodox Biblical Hermeneutics: Divine Entendre, Scriptural Reverence, and the Pathway to Theosis. It is a seminary-level work that explores biblical interpretation through historical-grammatical exegesis, Christocentric theology, canonical interpretation, and spiritual formation. The text introduces the concept of Divine Entendre, emphasizing the multi-layered theological richness of Scripture while maintaining fidelity to historical and grammatical meaning.

Complementing the primary text is the Companion Interactive Student Workbook, an extensive educational resource developed to deepen student engagement through guided reading notes, exegetical exercises, journaling prompts, discussion questions, self-assessments, and spiritual reflection activities. Structured chapter by chapter, the workbook merges academic rigor with practical and devotional application, encouraging students to approach biblical interpretation as both an intellectual and formative discipline.

The series also includes the TRACS-Aligned Instructor Manual with Sample Syllabi, a professional teaching resource created for seminary professors, theological instructors, and ministry educators. The manual provides comprehensive lecture notes, examinations, grading rubrics, Bloom's Taxonomy integration, classroom activities, and semester scheduling models aligned with the standards of the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS). Designed for both accelerated and traditional academic programs, the instructor manual equips educators with a complete framework for seminary-level instruction while maintaining theological precision and pedagogical consistency.

Together, the books form a unified academic curriculum addressing subjects such as biblical inspiration, hermeneutical presuppositions, genre-specific interpretation, typology, theological interpretation, historical criticism, spiritual formation, and preaching methodology. The curriculum's integration of scholarship, pastoral application, and structured pedagogy positions it as a significant contribution to contemporary evangelical and orthodox theological education.

Written for graduate theology students, seminarians, ministry leaders, and academic institutions, the Orthodox Biblical Hermeneutics collection reflects a growing demand for biblically grounded interpretive training that balances scholarly analysis with spiritual responsibility. By combining rigorous academic methodology with devotional sensitivity, Dr. Powe's work seeks to prepare a new generation of interpreters, teachers, and ministry professionals for faithful engagement with Scripture in both academic and ecclesial contexts.

Orthodox Biblical Hermeneutics series will be available for purchase. Pre-orders are now open.
