In this course, you will see ancient Israel’s history silhouetted against the broader historical developments of the Near East. How did the rise and fall of ancient empires shape their world? Who were the major historical figures of the period and what were their legacies? Seeing the biblical characters and stories in their socio-political context will yield new insights in your study of God’s Word.
The course is available both on campus and fully online. You can join live or watch the courses on your own time.
The course meets Tuesdays, 6:00-9:00 pm CST. It begins on August 15 and ends on December 5.
Dr. David Schreiner shares an overview of his course on Ancient Israel.
