Summary
In this course, the student will be introduced to the Historical Books of the Old Testament. The course will focus on the history from Joshua leading the people of Israel into the promised land, through the judges and numerous kings of Israel and Judah, their captivity and finally the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple under Ezra and Nehemiah. Through the overview of the Historical Books, the instructor will identify the theme of deliverance and salvation, Messianic themes and the God’s sovereign will worked out through the people of Israel. While there are two separate courses on the prophets, this course will be a helpful introduction to how God revealed his will to the kings of Judah and Israel through the prophets.
