Old Testament Introductions

This Course will systematically study the background against which the Old Testament books are to be properly understood. Module 1 will cover the areas of archaeology, chronology, history, canonicity and textual transmission as pertain the Old Testament as a whole. Module 2 will cover the areas of authorship, date of composition, integrity and literary character of the texts of each book in the canon.

This background knowledge is preliminary to the study of the Old Testament. It enables students to rightly interpret the intended meaning conveyed in the content of each book, in its individual context as well as collectively in the canon.
