Course Description
What is the purpose of the Old Testament prophets, and why should Christians study their writings today? Dr. Ben Shaw will introduce you to some of the most misunderstood books in the entire Bible. You will discover how narratives such as Joshua and Judges relate to redemptive history and how the ministries of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the “minor” prophets point to the person and work of Jesus Christ.
