OT003 - Old Testament Overview

This is a one-semester overview of the Old Testament. It explores it from the perspective of covenant: the relationship between God and his people that plays out throughout the Old Testament and into the New. For the most part, this is a big-picture overview; yet at times, the unit stops to consider in more detail some of the individual stories and passages that demonstrate the bigger themes.

This unit is ideal for those taking a shorter course (i.e. the equivalent of one or two full-time semesters) in combination with NT003 (New Testament Overview).
Bachelor & Masters students wishing to take this unit must consult their course adviser prior to enrolment, as taking both NT003 and OT003 will not meet the requirements for these awards.
