The course features 120-minute sessions, including a 60-minute lecture and 60-minute live discussion, with recordings provided. No prior reading or prerequisites are required, making it accessible to all.
Lockwood, who earned his PhD in Orthodox Theology at Aristotle University in Greece, will guide students in reading Scripture symbolically with clarity, drawing from his expertise in Orthodox symbolism.
