This seven-week class will seek to explore the Torah’s (Genesis – Deuteronomy) instruction and framework for understanding the unfolding Jewish narrative of the Bible. Special attention will be given to Genesis 1-11 as the context leading to God’s covenants with Abraham and the Jewish people as the way He will bring about redemption to all the nations of the earth.
In addition to a weekly class, other resources, such as articles, scripture readings, and follow-up podcast conversations will be provided as we journey through these foundational portions of the Bible together.
