Course Description

Embark on a transformative journey through the rich tapestry of ancient biblical text given us by God-inspired patriarchs, kings, servants, and prophets. In Preaching the Old Testament, you will take a deep dive into some of the most challenging texts, while exploring the ancient Near Eastern context in which the biblical historical narrative unfolded. Discover key theological themes which distinguished ancient Israel from their neighbors and still have tremendous relevance to Christians today. Hardly a book to be ignored, discover how biblical exegesis from this timeless text can deliver to a contemporary audience a fuller revelation of our holy, sovereign, Almighty God.
