OLD
TESTAMENT SURVEY
TEXT:
HOLY BIBLE – New International Version
INSTRUCTORS:

I.
INTRODUCTION
This two semester course will be a survey of most
of the Old Testament books. The
Bible history will be covered chronologically (the order in which events took
place).
As we study the Old Testament together, God's message to us should become
more understandable and meaningful. Attempts
will be made to relate the Old Testament to modern times and to our lives so
that together we can see God's will for us.
Most importantly, the message of Christ our Savior as it is revealed
throughout the Old Testament will be emphasized.
Pray that this class will help you to grow in your faith and appreciation
for God's Word.
