Lesson Overview

The Old Testament can be daunting. It is perceived by long, complex, and mired in ancient some as history, and the numerous prophets who contributed to Scripture can often become confusing. However, this lesson sets the stage for a comprehensive course on essentially the second “half’ of the Old Testament. As an introduction to the course and his method, Dr. Averbeck explains the primary purpose of teaching the Bible and highlights certain attitudes that should permeate our approach to God’s Word whether we study it personally or teach it to others. Finally, he gives a of the overall biblical story and shows how the Latter Prophets and Writings fit in.
