New Adult Old Testament Sunday Class at 10:30 am
David Coombs will lead a class featuring Dr. Amy-Jill Levine’s 24 lectures on the Old Testament.
Each video will last approximately 30 minutes followed by discussion. Because we are in a fourth wave of the virus we will meet on Zoom. If you are not on the email list to receive the Zoom link and the background material, please email Dave Coombs. Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, professor at Vanderbilt University, will take us through the Old Testament in a way we have not experienced. Dr. Levine states that she thinks religion is the best undergraduate major in college at least in terms of the humanities and the social sciences because you have to have knowledge of a diversity of subjects: literary criticism, anthropology, economics, political science, history, art, mythology and cross-cultural studies. This will be an academic approach to the Old Testament, but as Dr. Levine writes, “The academic approach should give believers, agnostics, atheists, and those whose religions fall outside the biblical purview all a deeper understanding of the text.” Please contact Dave Coombs if you are not on the master class list and wish to be included.
David will send the Zoom link and a pdf once contacted.
