Course Description:
This is one of the Old Testament introduction courses with a special focus on the History of Israel, the covenant people. This is important because biblical prophecy makes Israel unique among the nations of the world. No other nation has been the subject of such detailed prophecies as the Jewish people. This course exposes the uniqueness of the nation of Israel, their land, the city of Jerusalem and the Messiah. The historical analysis begins from the Patriarchs to the division of the kingdom, the invasion of the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Roman Empire. It will also touch some of the activities and Jewish experience during the intertestamental period to the beginning of the New Testament when the nation was under the Roman Empire.
Goals and Objectives of the Course:
By the end of this course, the students should be able to:
1. Understand the sovereignty of God in the formation of Israel as a nation of God in the making of the nation of Israel.
2. Explain the importance of Israel as a nation in God’s salvific agenda for the World.
3. Explain the meaning and significance of God’s self- revelation to Israel and the nations.
4. Reflect on God’s faithfulness and covenant relationship to Israelites and Christians.
