old testament survey, part 3

beginning january 7, 2024

This is an introductory level class through the group of books in the Old Testament classified as “Wisdom Literature.”  This includes Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon, and the many sorts of questions that arise when Christians read these books: what is their history, their place in the story of redemption?  How do we interpret and appreciate their lessons today?  How do we deal with the confusion that can sometimes arise within the teaching of these books?

The Gospel of Matthew

beginning january 7, 2024

Scholars argue that Matthew was the first gospel. Others argue that it is the premiere gospel. Matthew quotes the Old Testament more than any other gospel and so provides great insight into covenant theology, how the New Testament relates to the Old. The gospel of Matthew is full of sections of Jesus’ teaching and so is itself a great tool for Christian discipleship and growth in godliness. Join us in the gym as we use small group methods for Bible study in order to learn insights from one another as we each approach a common text from various backgrounds. This class meets in the gym.
