Old Testament Overview

Old Testament Overview

Mark Cameron, M. Div. hails from the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. During college in Texas, service in the Marines and as a civil engineer, the Lord continued working on his spirit for a teaching ministry. Mark underwent training at Talbot and Chafer Theological Seminaries, in the “school of life,” and second careers to support that training. In the late 1990s, the Lord led him to the Jewish perspective on the Scriptures for which he is forever thankful. He now teaches mathematics in a public school, yet his first love to the Lord has never ceased to be the teaching of the Word.

This course is a study of the Old Testament and serves as an “indispensable foundation on which the New Testament is built.” It will enlighten each student’s understanding and appreciation of the New Testament. As we walk through the history and culture of the writer and original audience, we will see what our righteous and loving God had for them through the eyes of His Unfailing Word.

When we complete a book, each student will understand the outline of the book, its major eternal truths, and its focus on the coming Messiah. Students will glimpse the unifying hand of our Almighty God waving across the pages of the Old Testament from its beginning in Genesis to its close in Malachi.

Each book will be covered from the Jewish perspective. Instead of the traditional Christian arrangement of 39 books, we will utilize the traditional Jewish arrangement of the Canon of Scripture. The traditional Jewish arrangement condenses the Old Testament Canon into twenty-four books—the five of the Pentateuch, eight of the Prophets (Joshua, Judge, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the Minor Prophets), and the Writings consist of 11 books (Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, and Chronicles).*
