This course offers strategies for understanding each type of Old Testament writing, including history, prophecy, poetry, wisdom, and apocalyptic. 

Jesus made a point to tell his disciples that the whole Old Testament anticipated his coming (see especially Luke 24:25-27, 44-45). And so each session includes a special feature called "Anticipating the New Testament." Through this you will begin to discover the links between the two testaments and gain a fuller sense of our unfolding salvation history.

This course is based on his book Old Testament Essentials (InterVarsity Press) available for purchase at ivpress.com or at Amazon.com.
