Biblically-Informed Pastoral Leadership: Old Testament -2027

About This Course

In this introduction to the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, we will explore what is in it (Torah, Prophets, Writings), and what is not.  Focusing on Old Testament “big words,” such as salvation, redemption, justice, righteousness, etc., will help us learn ways to apply biblical teachings in practice.  What are the prophetic invitations of the Old Testament?  Students will develop skills to interpret biblical texts in dialogue between ancient contexts and the contexts in which they serve.  This may include using the Bible for spiritual formation, preaching, or other community needs.
