Old Testament Survey
About Course
The Old Testament Survey is a foundational course designed to help students understand the message, structure, and theological significance of the Old Testament. Rather than studying each book in isolation, this course traces the grand story of God’s redemptive plan from Creation to Christ, showing how every section of the Old Testament contributes to God’s unfolding purposes in history.
Throughout this course, students will explore the historical background, major events, key themes, important covenants, wisdom literature, prophetic messages, and the hope of the coming Messiah. They will discover how the Law, Historical Books, Wisdom Literature, and Prophets fit together as one unified narrative that ultimately points to Jesus Christ.
Special attention is given to understanding God’s character, His covenant faithfulness, His holiness, His dealings with Israel, and His plan to redeem the nations. The course also highlights the relevance of the Old Testament for Christian faith and ministry today, helping students move beyond simply knowing biblical facts to understanding the theological message of Scripture.
By the end of this course, students will have a clear overview of the Old Testament, understand the relationship between its books, recognize its major theological themes, and confidently explain how the Old Testament prepares for and finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
