Old Testament Survey (C-BIB 214)


Description
This course is an introduction to the study of the Old Testament. Emphasis will be placed upon the background, structure, and content of each book. This course is a study of beginnings. It shows how the ancient inspired Hebrew writers expressed in narrative form a record of God’s saving deeds from the beginning of God’s work with all humankind. From these narratives, students can see God’s unfolding plan of redemption through what Christians believe to be God’s revelation.

*Supplemental reading recommendation: Encountering the Old Testament: A Christian Survey (Baker Academics, 3rd Edition 2015), by Bill T. Arnold and Bryan E. Beyer (https://amzn.to/2vnK4AW).

**Student's will not need to purchase the course textbook. All the material is available with your subscription.
