This course is part of our Lecture Series that was filmed in front of a live classroom. As a result, it includes engagement with students and sometimes references the local situation.
Theological Note: The teacher approaches the text from a literal, historical, and creedal perspective. He affirms plenary inspiration, inerrancy, infallibility, and scriptural clarity. In light of that, he seeks to present the Old Testament in a way that would be pleasing to all who take the Bible to be the Holy Word of God.
