Kingdom, Covenants & Canon of the Old Testament
 |
If someone asked, "What is the Old Testament about?" would you
have an answer? Could you summarize the meaning of Job? And more
fundamentally, could you explain why the Old Testament is relevant
for Christians today?
Unfortunately, many modern Christians lack a firm understanding of the basic content and meaning of the Old Testament. As a result, they are inadvertently attempting to live their Christian lives based only on the New Testament. Yet, Jesus and his apostles taught that the Old Testament is very important for Christians. As a matter of fact, when Paul told Timothy that all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, he was referring primarily to the Old Testament. Kingdom, Covenants & Canon of the Old Testament is the first series in the course Bible Survey. |
