We finished the 5th book of the Old Testament last week. This week, we make a giant time and book leap into the New Testament! Why? Well, there is no big theological reason – just change things up a bit. We will begin with an Overview and then, over the next few weeks, peer through the Gospels. The Overview will help us answer the question, “What is the New Testament about in the Bible”? We get an explanation of its major themes and gain a deeper understanding of its place in the biblical story. The New Testament is not as disconnected from the Old Testament as some might assume. The authors of the New Testament were well-versed in the Hebrew Scriptures, constantly referencing Old Testament passages and stories. Jesus and the apostles saw Jesus’ story as the continuation of the Hebrew Bible.
We hope to see many of you there. If you have questions, please contact Dar Davis at moc.liamg@10sivadrad or Joana Arthur at moc.nsm@ruhtraanaoj.
