Fewer than 10% of Christians have read the entire Old Testament.  This is due largely to unfamiliarity with the O.T. world and lack of training.  This survey course introduces the world of the Old Testament, from the historical and geographical background to the formation of the Old Testament itself.  Learn the Law, Prophets, Wisdom Literature, Psalms, Historical Books, Chronology, Apocrypha, and more.  Learn the story of the Dead Sea Scrolls.  The class is essential for us to be able to deepen our appreciation of the message God has given us through the books of the Old Testament. We will explore Gods story in the O.T. and see how it unfolds into the New Testament Christianity and make it a part of our own story.
