BIBLE BIBL 1022 Pentateuch B, 3 credit hours
BIBL 2011 Former Prophets (Old Testament Historical Books) B, 3 credit hours
The former prophets, Joshua through Kings, discuss God's interactions with Israel, either blessing, disciplining, graciously providing, or testing as Israel obeys or disobeys the agreed upon covenantal stipulations. These books describe the conquest and settlement of the land followed by the rise and fall of the monarchy. The narratives of Ezra and Nehemiah complement this story by describing the several returns after the “templeless” time of exile. A proper interpretation of these texts provides a foundation for application in present, similarly turbulent, times. BIBL 2022 Latter Prophets (Old Testament Prophets) B, 3 credit hours The student reads the prophets, Isaiah through Malachi, as God's servants ministering to His people in crisis- ridden situations resulting from the people's disobedience, God's testing of their faithfulness, or the outworking of His mysterious plan. The writing prophets called for repentance and warned of judgment for continued self-reliance, but additionally envisioned a blessed future in which Israel would live harmoniously with her God. We must learn to recognize these prophets as God’s spokesmen to us today.
The composition of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, collectively called the Pentateuch, teaches God’s people how to live. Beginning in story form with God’s design of the world—“creation” and man’s response—“fall,” the chronicle subsequently recounts man’s successive failures, God’s responsive commitment to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and His promised deliverance of their descendants from Egypt. After a stop at Sinai for detailed instruction and a detour of a generation’s time through the wilderness, the story ends at the border of the land promised with Moses rehearsing for God’s people the behavior required in order to receive his blessing.
