From Exodus to Exile: An Overview of the Hebrew Bible in Context

The Old Testament was the “scripture” of the early church, comprises seventy-five percent of the Christian Bible, and is frequently referenced in the New Testament. This overview will look at the books of the Old Testament in their historical and theological context. The class will also include discussions on theories of Biblical authority, interpretation and issues around preaching from the First Testament. There will be (four) in person classes and opportunities for weekly virtual check-ins around readings and class assignments.
