| Rather than offering textual criticism or a look at various sources and strands of Old Testament theology, this course concentrates on the Book of Genesis as a consistent story. The lectures will trace the narrative about God, God's Creation, and his people. The lectures will also be useful to those who are interested in how the New Testament draws from the story Genesis is telling. Along the way, you will learn why people like Abraham and Sarah, Jacob, and Joseph, are not just characters to imitate as moral examples, but are themselves deeply flawed and, like us, in need of God's rescue.
The course material is organised in four sections that include: - God's Purpose: What is God doing? Who is it for? Where is Creation headed?
- God's Promise: Why is God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob significant?
- God's Presence: Where will God continue to dwell with his people?
- God's Provision: How does God provide and ultimately rescue his people of the promise?
When you have finished the course, you will have learned how the people of Israel understood that their own story was being shaped by the God who keeps his covenant forever. |
