Bible Courses
Old Testament Survey Bible 9 is an in-depth journey over the story of God’s people and purpose from Genesis to Malachi to reveal the "bigger picture" of God's purposes in time and how our personal lives intersect with it. The Bible is one story that begins with creation and ends with the return of Christ. To understand our history is to know the heart of God. This is done in contrast to a postmodern society that doesn't believe we connect our purpose and meaning to any meta-narrative (overarching) story that comes from God where man and time are going in a direction intentionally. Grade 9 (Credits 5)
