Old Testament Survey

This is an introductory course to the Old Testament developing a framework for understanding the historical setting, context and biblical themes of each book of the Old Testament. We begin this first stretch with the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible. Course goals include placing the various books in the OT on a timeline relative to the History of Israel, understanding the historical setting of each book, understanding the context of each book: the writer, the recipients and the messages, and understanding the major biblical themes in each book while also identifying unifying themes.
