Whole Bible Survey: Part 1 (Old Testament)

The Bible itself has a long history of formation and transmission. In this video we cover the two languages that the Bible was written in – Hebrew and Greek – and the process of manuscript creation, copyists and their errors, manuscript families, and finally the translation process of putting the original texts into our own language. (Part 1)

The stories recorded in the Bible center on events that happened in the Middle East and the eastern Mediterranean area. Here we cover the geography and climate of Bible times, the sections of the land of Israel itself and how they affected the events. Next we examine the six types of literature in the Bible and how to derive the most benefit from each type. Finally we look at the culture of the Bible – not only that of the Israelites but also the surrounding cultures and what effect these had on God's people in their walk with him.

The history of Israel, as recorded in the Old Testament, can be a confusing mass of events and details unless we back up and look at the broad historical sweep, beginning with Creation and following the Nation to their status at the time of Christ. In this video we will learn the eight stages of that history, and the formative effects that each stage had on their religious development over the centuries. (Part 1)

Since the Bible itself claims that it is the product of one author (God), there should be one storyline running from Genesis to Revelation. There are sixty-six books within the Bible, but when we "erase" the boundaries between them, we can see a single plot running from beginning to end. In this video we learn that there are three main sections in the Bible's story; each section is examined and understood in context of the overall Biblical theme.

The Bible presents God’s own version of the Creation of the Universe; the secret to unraveling the mystery is to slow down and look at the details carefully. In Genesis 1, we learn about three primary methods that God used to create the world. Once we have identified those, we will see those same three methods used all through the rest of the Bible as the Creator has continued to work in the physical and spiritual realms. (Part 1)

The whole Bible centers around a single problem: sin, and the death that results from that. Everything in the Bible focuses on solving that problem. Here we examine what exactly happened at the beginning of the human race that brought us into this dilemma – with an exact definition of sin, the lie that led us into it, and the inevitable results of sin. With this beginning groundwork we can better understand the rest of the Bible's themes as they address this one issue.

The solution to sin and death starts with the story of Abraham and the Covenant that God made with him and his Family. According to the Bible, the Covenant's blessings are nothing less than the Gospel of Christ. Here we look at the four terms of the Covenant, how God started fulfilling those terms in Abraham's life, how they were fulfilled during the history of Israel, and finally what the four terms of the Covenant mean for the Christian Church. (Part 1)

Abraham's family grew into a nation, but early in their history they found themselves helplessly enslaved by Pharaoh and the Egyptians. In order to carry out his promises to their forefather Abraham, the Lord delivered them from Egyptian slavery, destroyed their enemies, led them to Mt. Sinai and gave them his Law, thereby forming them into the nation of the people of God. This video examines that process of deliverance in detail and shows the universal pattern of salvation for all of God's people.

Israel's God differentiated himself from other gods by his Name. The Names of the Lord describe what the Biblical God is like, and the kinds of works he does. In this video we learn about the revelation of the Name of the LORD to Israel, what the purposes of his many names are, the special meaning of Yahweh, the residence of the LORD's Name in the Temple, and how Jesus fulfills that special Name in his own ministry.

The Law of God can be confusing to modern Christians. But its purpose has always been the same, in Israel's history as well as in modern times. Here we look at the giving of the Law, the three purposes of the Law, the real problem about keeping the Law of God, the spiritual intent of the Law, and the only way that a person can live up to "the righteous requirements of the Law." (Part 1)

God having witnesses on hand was a legal maneuver in order to establish the truth about who he is and what he does. Witnesses were present at all of the works of Israel's God. The entire Bible is a collection of their testimonies. This video examines the legal role of a witness, God's use of witnesses all through Israel's history, various examples of God having thousands and millions of witnesses present, and the only way to legally discount a witness's testimony. (Part 1)
