B, 3 credit hours The student reads the prophets, Isaiah through Malachi, as God's servants ministering to His people in crisis- ridden situations resulting from the people's disobedience, God's testing of their faithfulness, or the outworking of His mysterious plan. The writing prophets called for repentance and warned of judgment for continued self-reliance, but additionally envisioned a blessed future in which Israel would live harmoniously with her God. We must learn to recognize these prophets as God’s spokesmen to us today.

B, 3 credit hours Isaiah imaginatively wrote to a religious audience steeped in tradition, burdened with political challenges international in scope, and whose allegiance wavered between their God and those of the surrounding nations. He wrote of kings, Ahaz, Hezekiah, and the one coming, of the servant’s role in reconciliation, of exile and restoration, and of the holy Yahweh, lord of heaven and earth and sustainer of his people.

B, 3 credit hours Reading the Psalms opens a dialogue between the communicant and God which exposes both to the complexities of an established and mutually accountable relationship. This course studies the literary form of the individual Psalms and the arrangement of these poems toward ascertaining the meaning, message, and mediatory use of the Psalms. The student learns to read the Psalms originally as man’s words to God, then as God’s inspired message to man, and finally takes them as his or her own words to God in petition, thanksgiving, or praise.

B, 3 credit hours Real-life decisions should be made according to biblical precedent, but that is easier to say than do. One may derive an approach toward decision making through careful reading of the Old Testament wisdom books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job. But that approach requires “balancing” or “holding in tension” the input from each book rather than developing a seamless process. This course overviews the message of each book and examines specific content while encouraging each student to learn and practice biblical wisdom principles.
