Rationale

A student of God’s Word must consider the value of the Old Testament for their lives. Not only is the Old Testament the history of the Jewish people, but it holds God’s earliest teachings of sin, repentance, and justification. This course identifies the points of importance for a more complete historical and contextual understanding of God’s revelation to man.
