Seminary Now: Old Testament Backgrounds

We come to the biblical text as outsiders. God communicated to and through the Bible’s authors, and into their context. We need to recover the ancient ways of thinking, the ancient culture in order to read our biblical text well. Background studies can give us better access to the intentions of the authors. In this course produced by Seminary Now expert scholar and Old Testament professor John Walton provides historical, social, and cultural background for understanding the Old Testament. Join Dr. Walton as he makes the Old Testament more accessible for ordinary readers. To learn more about Seminary Now, visit https://seminarynow.com/
