B111 - Historical Books - Sem 1
Teaches the student the vital facts of Israel’s history from the days of Joshua (c. 1400 B.C.) to the time of the Babylonian captivity (c. 600 B.C.). The instructor points out practical lessons for today’s ministers as he successively spotlights the leading men who appear in the books from Joshua to Esther. The ministries of Joshua, the thirteen judges, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Ezra, and Nehemiah are analyzed; together with the careers of Saul, David, Solomon, and the kings of both Judah and Israel. Although the class is historically based, a substantial portion of the curriculum consists of identifying and explaining many of the typological pictures of Christ, the church, and current religious trends contained in this colorful section of Scripture.
