Course Description:
How does the Old Testament relate to the New? How do God's people today relate to the people and teaching of the Old Testament? This course considers such important issues by examining the foundational theology of the Old Testament as applied to the New Testament and the Church. The course identifies the focal point for the Old and New Testaments, and includes discussions on continuity and discontinuity between the Testaments, saving faith, the people of God, law, worship, atonement, the Kingdom of God, the Messiah, and the New Covenant. Throughout the course, Dr. Kaiser shows how Old Testament theology is vital to contemporary Christian living.
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Articulate Old Testament theological themes.
- Understand the problematic issues of Old Testament theology.
- Appreciate the significance of the Old Testament for the Church.
- Apply Old Testament theology to life and ministry.
