The Christian story has its genesis in the Old, or First Testament. To truly understand the Christian faith revealed in the Gospels and writing of the New Testament we need to grasp the foundation laid in the Jewish Tanakh (OT Scriptures). In the course, students will work through a chronological survey of the Old Testament people, places and events, highlighting the basic message of each Old Testament books, their contribution to God’s redemptive storyline, and their significance for Christian thought and practice.
