课程名称：理解旧约世界 课程概述： 现代基督徒是否仍然认为旧约对今天的生活具有指导意义？上帝是否通过耶稣的教导和新约的著作否定了律法和旧约的书写？理解旧约世界为我们的信仰、新约著作以及耶稣的话语带来了真正的意义与重要性。旧约或希伯来圣经是耶稣、他的门徒以及保罗的经典。耶稣从这些经典中教导他的门徒，而保罗及其他新约作者则是基于对旧约的理解而撰写了我们现在称之为“新约”的文献。新约的描述在旧约或希伯来圣经的光照下揭示耶稣的生活与信息。耶稣并没有开始一种新宗教，而是赋予了旧约经典、信息和实践以真正的意义。他的使命通过几句著名的声明予以宣告，例如马太福音4:17和马可福音1:14-15等，这些都显示了“天国”的观念在耶稣的思想与事工中是核心主题。 本课程旨在深入探讨“天国”这一概念及其与以色列及其上帝的联系，提供旧约世界的广泛概述，揭示其文化与世界观的意义。课程不会详细剖析每一种文化，而是通过广角镜头描绘古代和圣经世界的“全貌”，为其他深入的圣经研究奠定基础。 课程内容包括： - 旧约世界的地理 - 古代与旧约世界观 - 旧约世界的神祇 - 偶像崇拜 - 神庙及其与“上帝之国”的连接 - 古代城市及其功能 - 圣殿仪式、献祭及其职能 - 祭司、大祭司和王的领导角色 以色列并非生活在与世隔绝的世界中，而是与周围文化相互交往。理解这些文化及其宗教与世界观将有助于更好地理解旧约的历史与著作。 课程包含3.5小时的视频，包含大量旧约世界及其文化的地图、图表、插图和图像。课程结束时，学员将能够： - 更好地了解圣经世界的地理 - 认识一些古代神祇 - 更深入理解偶像崇拜 - 认识神庙的重要角色 - 了解古代城市及其功能 - 更好地理解圣殿仪式与献祭 - 理解祭司与王的角色 - 认可在历史与文化背景中阅读圣经的重要性 - 理解旧约与新约之间的联系 - 更好地理解耶稣的教导 本课程适合希望更好理解旧约、看到圣经“全景”的学生，以及对圣经历史和文化感兴趣的人士。课程不适合认为旧约无关紧要、不感兴趣历史或不认为在历史背景中阅读圣经重要的学生。 欢迎加入我们，体验丰富的学习旅程！
Do modern Christians still regard the Old Testament applicable today? Did God nullify the Law and Old Testament writings by replacing it with Jesus' teachings and the New Testament writings? Understanding the Old Testament World brings true meaning and significance to our faith, the New Testament writings, and the words of Jesus. The Old Testament or Hebrew Scriptures were Jesus', his disciples' and Paul's Bible. Jesus taught his disciples from these scriptures. Paul and the other New Testament authors wrote what we call ‘The New Testament' from their knowledge and understanding of the ‘Old Testament'. The New Testament describes Jesus' life and message in light of the Old Testament or Hebrew Scriptures. Jesus did not start a new religion, but gave true meaning to the Old Testament scriptures, message and practices. He announced his mission to earth with some of the following statements: Matthew 4:17 (NIV) 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." Mark 1:14-15 (NIV) 14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" Matthew 4:23 (NIV) 23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. From these few references we can deduce that 'The Kingdom of God' was central to Jesus' thinking and ministry. Jesus came to teach and explain the true meaning and significance of God's Kingdom, an idea his audience was familiar with. The meaning and implications of a ‘Kingdom' were not new to them but originated and developed with human civilization and history. ‘Kingdom' in the ancient and Biblical Worlds, had direct connections with institutions like; idolatry, gods, temples, cities, priests, and kings. This course aims at uncovering these 'Kingdom' institution, implications, developments and their connection with Israel and their God. This course is a broad introductory survey of the Old Testament World, its cultures and world view, uncovering the meaning of the ‘gods' kingdom', shedding light on the Kingdom of Israel's God. We do not look at the Old Testament World cultures and literature through magnifying glasses, dissecting every culture in detail, but through wide- angle lenses, trying to see the 'Big Picture' of the ancient and Biblical worlds. This course lays the foundation for all other in- depth Bible studies concerning God and His Kingdom. In this course we pay attention to: The Old Testament World geography Ancient and Old Testament World views The gods of the Old Testament World Idolatry Temples Ancient cities and their connection to the 'god's kingdom' Temple rituals, sacrifices, and functions Priests, High Priests and Kings' leadership roles Israel did not live in their own separate world but engaged with other cultures surrounding them. Understanding these cultures, their religion and World Views, will help us to understand the Old Testament history and writings. This course consists of 3, 5 hours video, including many maps, diagrams, illustrations, and images of the Old Testament World and its cultures. At the end of this course students will: Know more about the Biblical World geography Have met some ancient gods Understand idolatry better Recognize temples' significant role Know more about ancient cities and their function Understand temple rituals and sacrifices better Know more about the Priests and Kings' roles Recognize the value of reading the Bible in its historical and cultural contextIdentify connections between the Old and New Testament writingsUnderstand Jesus' teachings better. This course is for students who: Wish to understand the Old Testament better Want to see the ‘Big Picture' of the Bible better Enjoy learning about Bible history and cultures This course is not for students who: Regard the Old Testament redundant Are not interested in history Need an in depth knowledge of ancient cultures Do not regard it important reading the Bible in its historical context Please join us for a rich learning experience!
