More about the course: “Knowing God's Ways: Perspectives from the Old Testament” Many people turn to the Bible to gain a deeper understanding of what it is that God wants from us, and how we might live according to God's ways. In these four sessions, we will look at four distinct perspectives on this issue presented by the Old Testament. We will see that the questions we have today were just as pressing thousands of years ago. And we will think about how those ancient perspectives continue to be useful to us—and influence us—down to the present.
