Course Overview

Old Testament Survey provides a developmental and in-depth academic study of the teachings of the Old Testament, from the creation of the world (Genesis) to the restoration of Israel and the ministry of its post-exilic prophets (Malachi). The survey emphasizes the most important people, places, and events in the development and decline of the nation of Israel. These areas target three content strands: theology, biblical literature, and biblical background.

Upon completion of the course, students should be able to do the following:

  • Identify the key people, places, and events of the Old Testament.
  • Provide the setting and purpose for each Old Testament book.
  • Identify the different eras in the history of Israel.
  • Appreciate the importance of the nation of Israel.
  • Describe the rise and fall of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.
  • Identify the various prophets with the era in which they ministered.
