$ Old Testament Through a Different Lens: The Prophets (BeADisciple.com)
October 14 All day
Course Dates:
October 14 – 25, 2024
This course examines Scripture through lenses other than those familiar to us as Christians. It looks at the Prophets—from Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings, to the major and minor prophets of the Old Testament—and connects them to the contexts and experiences of ancient and modern Israel. It will focus on the “bad” kings, the heroes, the judges, the building of the nation into a unified monarchy and its dissolution. You will discover the many times Israel was invaded and dispersed in antiquity and see the role or prophetic voices in the exile/captivity, as well as learning more about how God works in the lives of Biblical figures. Finally, it will bring the insights of these ancient prophets into a modern context.
Learners will need to obtain this book: The Liberating Voices of the Hebrew Prophets by Rabbi Nahum Ward-Lev
In addition to Blackboard interactions, 2 optional Zoom meetings will be held on the 1st and 2nd week, with learner input. The meetings will not be recorded.
The course is eligible for 1.0 CEUs.
