This course highlights the importance and the inseparable unity that the Old Testament shares with the New Testament. It unfolds the historical background needed to interpret the Old Testament. Each book of the Old Testament is treated with a focus on: who wrote it, when and why it was written, important themes in each book, how the book is constructed and how we can understand and use it today.

The course also covers the important role that the Old Testament plays in the Christian faith, particularly in Reformed theology, confessions, and church life.
The relationship between the Old and New Testaments is carefully figured out. This is crucial to our understanding of the Old Testament. This knowledge promises to broaden your own understanding of God and deepen and enrich your faith.
