[Walkthrough of the OT] Text and Story of the Old Testament

Описание: This introductory walkthrough of the Old Testament equips students with a big-picture framework for reading the OT. Beginning with the historical, cultural, and theological background of the Old Testament, the course then explores the shape of the OT canon and the overarching story that binds its diverse books together. Students are introduced to the major sections of the Hebrew Scriptures—Torah, Former Prophets, Latter Prophets, and Writings—learning how each contributes uniquely to Israel’s understanding of God's plan for their nation and all humanity. The aim is not detailed exegesis of individual texts, but to provide a coherent map of the Old Testament that enables readers to locate any passage within its canonical context and redemptive storyline.
