"On the Road to Emmaus" on Wednesday Nights

"It is possible to know Bible stories, yet miss the Bible story." So said the late Edmund Clowney in the introduction to his excellent book, The Unfolding Mystery: Discovering Christ in the Old Testament. I am recommending this book as reading for the first class in 2008 of our Wednesday Night Study in Theology. Like all our classes in the WNST, this one will run for six weeks, from 7.00p-8.30p. This class is titled "On the Road to Emmaus: Seeing Christ in the Old Testament" and begins on Feb 6. This class will focus on:
- The unifying nature and message of Scripture
- How to read and understand the Old Testament as Christian Scripture
- How to see the relationships between the different genres of the Bible (narrative, law, prophecy, wisdom literature, etc.) and the way in which they relate to the Person and Work of Christ in a discernable way.
- How to read an OT Bible story the right way!
While reading Clowney's book is not required for the class, I nevertheless highly recommend it. I am confident that most everyone will find it an easy read. Moreover, it not expensive. Order it from Amazon, or (for probably less $) from the WSC bookstore.
