Description
This is the exact same Old Testament Introduction course I have taught at leading Bible colleges and seminaries including Talbot School of Theology, Multnomah School of the Bible and Biblical Seminary, and Gateway Seminary (formerly Golden Gate Seminary).
Paying for this same course at Bible College / Seminary costs $2,000-3,000 so you will save at least 90% per person!
This course consists of 20 videos totaling over 17 hours of instruction that you can pause, stop, and rewatch as many times as needed for forever! The course also includes an ample amount of downloadable files and links that give 'at a glance' overviews of Bible History-Timelines, Interpreting the Old Testament, Apologetics, New Testament use of the Old Testament and much more!
There will also be (Optional) links and resources to more detailed dives into key topics for those wanting more
In addition, the course will be synced with (Optional) readings from popular Old Testament survey texts and atlases.
