Old Testament Bible (Genesis - Malachi) WORD OF LIFE Bible Institute Institute

Fall 2011 Steve Nicholes, Professor

Scope of the Course: 45 class periods will be spent examining the 39 books of the Old Testament. After a general introduction to the Old Testament, we will study each book in a survey fashion. Included in each discussion will be the relevant historical, cultural and geographic background of the book. The student should be able to trace the major movements of God's people both in geography and in time. For each book we will note the author, date, theme, outline and distinctive contribution to the Bible. By the end of this semester the student should have a working knowledge of each of the books and be prepared and motivated for a more detailed study in the future. Purpose: Life change based on a working knowledge of the bible is the ultimate goal of the Bible Institute curriculum. It is extremely helpful to understand the Scriptures as a whole. Bible Survey provides an overview of each book of the Bible and how the books relate to each other. Course Goals: In exams and assignments the Student will be expected to: 1. List and spell correctly the names of the books of the Old Testament. 2. Reproduce a theme and general outline for each book covered. 3. Differentiate books by their distinctive contribution to the canon. 4. Define the various literary styles and identify the subsections subsections of Scripture. 5. Give illustrations of the importance of geography, history and culture to interpretation. 6. Trace the development of the Theocratic Kingdom in history. 7. Read and summarize each chapter of the books studied. 8. Study the key points of the syllabus and class lectures so as to be ready to answer multiple choice, true & false and matching questions that will be presented on each mega-quiz. 9. Maintain a journal of p ractical insights gleaned from lectures and assignments with a minimum of 45 entries (journal assignment).
