Quote
“The value of the Old Testament may be dependant on what seems its imperfection. It may repel one use in order that we may be forced to use it in another way...to re-live, while we read, the whole Jewish experience of God’s gradual and graded self-revelation. — C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)
Did You Know
The Hebrew and Protestant Canons have slight variations. The Hebrew Bible has Kings as a unified text with Ezra and Nehemiah as one book, while the Protestant Old Testament divides these into two books.

Throughout the course, Waltke applies the doctrines of kingdom and salvation to the Christian life.
