God’s Promise and Plan of Redemption | Dr. Daniel Block
Tuesday evenings 7-8:30pm for 6-weeks: September 3rd - October 8th 2024 (available online)
The Bible is not always easy to understand. You might do your daily reading, but want a larger framework to make sense of where you are in the story and why it is important. Leading scholar Daniel Block will help you understand the big picture of God’s covenants with humanity as they play out in the Old and New Testaments.
After fifty years of teaching and preaching experience around the globe, Block brings a lifetime of study and reflection on the Old Testament and relationship with God to this course. It examines the heart and history of God’s redemptive plan and shows why the covenants are essential for our understanding of the Bible.
His research and writings on this topic are exhaustive (see book below) and we will examine the highlights to help you better put the Bible together as one story of one God working in the world.
