Understanding the Old Testament (OT Bible Intro-Survey)

This is the exact same Old Testament Introduction course I have taught at leading Bible colleges and seminaries including Talbot School of Theology, Multnomah School of the Bible and Biblical Seminary, and Gateway Seminary (formerly Golden Gate Seminary).

Paying for this same course at Bible College / Seminary costs $2,000-3,000 so you will save at least 90% per person!

This course consists of 20 videos totaling over 17 hours of instruction that you can pause, stop, and rewatch as many times as needed for forever! The course also includes an ample amount of downloadable files and links that give 'at a glance' overviews of Bible History-Timelines, Interpreting the Old Testament, Apologetics, New Testament use of the Old Testament and much more!

There will also be (Optional) links and resources to more detailed dives into key topics for those wanting more

In addition, the course will be synced with (Optional) readings from popular Old Testament survey texts and atlases.

Specific course goals and learning outcomes:

Cognitive

• Students will sharpen their grasp of the content and theology of the Old Testament

• Students will better understand the foundational role of the Pentateuch in relation to the balance of Scripture (OT and NT)

• Students will become alert and sensitized to the particular theological message, themes, features, and significance of each Old Testament book, section, and style (that is how to read, understand, and apply a one-liner axiom in Proverbs vs. Laws in Leviticus vs. Prophetic visions)

• Students will gain a greater understanding of the place and significance of historical context when studying biblical literature

  
  

Affective

• Students will grow in their realization of the spiritual power unleashed by better understanding the whole counsel of God

• Students will grow in their dependency on and appreciation of the timeless power of God’s Word and realization of the efficacy of God’s Spirit in using the Scriptures to impact lives

  
  

Behavioral

• Students will grow in their Christian walk and spiritual discernment as they spend extended time engaging the Bible and allowing the Bible to engage their lives more deeply

• Students will take what they have learned and use it to equip others for the work of ministry and to stimulate the Body of Christ to faith and good deeds
