OLD TESTAMENT II
Instructor: Harold Williams
Mondays, 6:10-7:25pm
How do the poetic and prophetic books of the Old Testament shape our understanding of God’s holiness, justice, and mercy? This course surveys the second half of the Old Testament, unfolding against the backdrop of powerful empires—Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and Greece. Explore the fall of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the exile and return, and the voices of the prophets who called God’s people to repentance and hope. Starting with 1 Chronicles, and continuing through the Poetic literature and the Prophets, we will witness how God’s covenant faithfulness remained steady—even in judgment—and how these books prepare the way for Christ.


NEW TESTAMENT II
Instructor: Jakob Schmidt
Mondays, 7:30-8:45pm
New Testament Survey II will explore 1 Corinthians through Revelation. We will see the main themes of these Epistles as we walk through each of them. We will also study some of the historical background to the cities and the churches to which the epistles were written.
