Old Testament Essentials
Tremper Longman
In this course Tremper Longman presents a comprehensive overview of the Old Testament that will enrich your knowledge and deepen your faith.
About The Course
Christians love the Bible, but they often do not know what to do with the Old Testament. In this course professor Tremper Longman presents a comprehensive overview that will enrich your knowledge and deepen your faith.
The course offers strategies for understanding each type of Old Testament writing, including history, prophecy, poetry, wisdom, and apocalyptic.
Jesus made a point to tell his disciples that the whole Old Testament anticipated his coming (see especially Luke 24:25–27, 44–45). And so each session includes a special feature called "Anticipating the New Testament." Through this you will begin to discover the links between the two testaments and gain a fuller sense of our unfolding salvation history.
This course is based on his book Old Testament Essentials (InterVarsity Press) available for purchase at ivpress.com or at Amazon.com.
