The events recorded in Scripture, both Old Testament and New, are not just “stories,” they are historical events that happened to real people in real places in time and space. While we often draw inspiration and even instruction (in appropriate cases) from those events, it is helpful to examine the accounts in Scripture as they happened in real terms. BSTH 246 will sample events from both testaments and analyze key elements that must frame our understanding. Geography, climate, seasons, hunger and thirst, relationships and even the theology of the “players” all shape the events, and so must shape our understanding and interpretation of those events.
