Biblical Theology
B103 - Leviticus, Deuteronomy
A detailed study of the laws of God in the light of New Testament revelation. Humorously called the “spinach” of the Old Testament, Leviticus packs great spiritual power. It is only distasteful to those who fail to see the wealth of life-giving spiritual nourishment veiled in the typology of priestly ordinances and holy festivals. Students feast on the spiritual relevance presented in this class! Particular emphasis is placed upon the priesthood and each of the five types of offerings (burnt, meal, peace, sin, and trespass) and upon the feasts (Passover, Pentecost, Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles). The study of Deuteronomy familiarizes the student with the nature of God’s old covenant laws, His promised blessings and cursings as a consequence of obedience and disobedience, and the history of Moses and Israel immediately before the succession of Joshua and the crossing of Jordan into the promised land.
