The Old Testament can feel like a difficult collection of ancient stories, laws, and prophecies. Yet it makes up 78% of our Bibles(!) and is vital for understanding God’s purposes throughout history — and for us today. This workshop will give you tools to read the Old Testament with greater confidence, enabling you to grasp the big-picture and apply helpful interpretive principles to difficult passages. Together we’ll discover how the Old Testament still speaks with clarity and relevance as Christian Scripture for the church in Aotearoa. Whether you’re new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this course will help you make sense of the Old Testament.
