The Roots of Faith: Old Testament
Designed by the training staff of ABWE/Good Soil. Study the main stories and themes of the Old Testament in a way that will enrich you and also give you a way to teach it to others. The course traces the unfolding of God’s progressive revelation of major theological concepts, especially those theological truths that are closely related to mankind’s spiritual needs and God’s plan of salvation. This module unfolds the chronological story of a perfect world that became cursed by sin, and the giving of promises regarding a Jewish King who would become the Savior of the world! The course consists of 50 lessons/sessions, each of which focuses on one of 50 key Old Testament redemptive story events. The learning process is engaging, interactive, and FUN. While learning is done in mixed groups of men and women, you can request a women to women learning group if you prefer, as a Women’s Development Track referral. Course participants become certified to teach the course to others. No advance preparation.
