“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.”
-Hebrews 1:1-2

Course Description:
From the earliest days of the church, believers have wrestled with the relationship between the old and new covenants. Humanity's inability to fulfill the law clearly showed the need for forgiveness and God's elaborate sacrificial system demonstrated sin's consequences. Yet how were Jewish believers to view Jesus? What were the implications of the messiah being the Great High Priest? In this course, students will wrestle with these and many other theological questions as they probe Christ's death and resurrection. Dr. J. Oliver Buswell, Jr. helps learners understand the book's message while challenging today's Great Cloud of witnesses to have complete faith in a sovereign, loving God.
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Grasp the message of Hebrews.
- Understand the theological implications of the book.
- Articulate the christological and soteriological truths about the incarnation.
- Express the importance of having complete faith and trust in Christ, the Great High Priest.
- Apply the book's message to life and ministry.
- Recognize God's amazing love in sending His Son as the perfect atonement.
