Module 9 – Story of the Old Testament

Led by Rev’d David Still

Tuesdays, 7pm – 8.30pm, 10, 17, 24 November and 1 December

St Paul’s Anglican Church, Port Adelaide

You are invited to explore the people, prophets and promises that shaped the story of the Bible’s Old Testament. The Old Testament is rich and diverse collection of books that tells the overall story of the relationship of Israel to God. In this module, the Old Testament is explored within the overarching theme of turning to and turning away from God – or faith and loss of faith. Students will learn about the types of literature found in the Old Testament, including law, history, poetry, wisdom writings, and prophecy. The Pentateuch books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are studied, followed by the pre-exilic prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah Elijah and Elisha, and the post-exilic Zechariah, Daniel, Haggai, Ezra and Nehemiah. The module concludes by focusing on the histories and other literature, including the deuterocanonical books, and Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, and 1 and 2 Kings.
