Part of our Food For Thought pro­gram: a sur­vey of the Old Tes­ta­ment with a par­tic­u­lar empha­sis on its rel­e­vance to Christians.

More detailed notes and links will appear here as we move from week to week. This is a ten­ta­tive sched­ule and might change as the sem­i­nar rolls along.

The fun­da­men­tal Chris­t­ian claim about the Old Tes­ta­ment is that the Old Tes­ta­ment is about Jesus (John 5:39, John 5:46, Luke 24:27, Hebrews 4:2). There are four ways he appears in the OT: phys­i­cally, prophet­i­cally, typo­log­i­cally, and thematically.
