Begin 2025 with the “Understanding the Old Testament” Study: Begins January 7, 2025
A new 24-week study on the Old Testament led by Pete Fleming will begin on Tuesday, January 7, and Wednesday, January 8, 2025. This study will examine the literary and historical dimensions of the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible), probing deeply into the inner meanings of the biblical texts, especially in their Hebrew translations. It will also look in depth at the history, dating, and writing of the texts themselves, and will examine the texts’ literary and linguistic features, noting how they achieve their impact on the reader.
The Understanding the Old Testament study will utilize the Great Courses video “Understanding the Old Testament” by the late Robert Donald Miller II, who received his PhD in Biblical and Near Eastern Studies from the University of Michigan. He taught at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., rising to Assistant Dean of Graduate Studies in the School of Theology, and was a scholar of the history, literature, religion, and archaeology of Ancient Israel in the First Temple Period.
This study will be offered on:
- Tuesday mornings from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in room F154, located on the 1st floor of the Sheldon Family Life Center.
- Wednesday evenings from 6 to 7:15 p.m. in room F151, located on the 1st floor of the Sheldon Family Life Center.
The same class will be offered on Tuesday mornings and Wednesday evenings, so attend whatever day works best for your schedule.
