3 Important things learned? Though-out the Old Testament survey course there was three key concepts that I found to be very interesting. The content, authorship, and timelessness of a book that is so well written and has so much power that it can change lives! When starting the course, it did not occur to me that the content of the Old Testament held such a key; that any reader would be challenged to read through it section by section. The Bible is broken up in different sections which helps the reader to understand better how each piece is written, the author, the periods and the rich content. The Old Testament has 39 books, which are divided into five different units. The Pentateuch, historical books, poetical books, four major prophets, and lastly the twelve minor prophets. In each of these bible books the rich content latches on the to the heart and soul of a reader and feeds and nourishes a weary traveller. …show more content…

It is important to remember that each word of the Bible was inspired by Holy Spirit. The authorship of the Bible was from writers that God had chosen to write down the events, laws, life lessons, and instructions that lie within the words of each book.

I believe that authorship is significant to my studies in the Old Testament because it gives a person courage to fight the good fight. God chose ordinary men to do such a daunting task that would be used generations

I enjoyed very much all the good points mentioned in your discussion board regarding the Bible. I do believe that, it is important to learn the history, meaning and behind God’s plan for the Bible in our regular day lives. In the meantime, I would like to highlight the fact that, nevertheless, the Bible is all God’s Word, but, it is also good, in order to better appreciate, that Christians study other scriptures such as Old and New Testament, Gospel, the Psalms, Proverbs, Wisdom, and so forth. There are differences about the scriptures, for example, the Bible describes God’s word to us, whereas the psalms, are prayers written to God as poetry is set to music. As stated in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable

The Bible itself is the most sold book in all of history, for good reason. In one way or another, it has impacted the lives of almost everyone. Whether it is through the practice of religion, or through the arts, it is a part of us all. Authors have been fond of using it as a tool in their writing, which can be as seen as a type of “Easter egg”. They are not easily shown and the readers sometimes have to dig deep to see them, and the same goes for those eggs.

The Bible is separated into two main sections, the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament tells of the time before Jesus Christ comes into the world. On the other hand, the New Testament tells of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many people view the Old and New Testament as being totally separate parts of the bible. The view point of these two different sections may be somewhat true for certain subjects, such as the list of unclean animals and the covenant associated with circumcision.

Christianity explains salvation as redemption by God’s grace through faith from unrighteousness and sins to Cleanliness, also known as Salvation. The Bible explores salvation in different perspectives including reconciliation, redemption, ransom, forgiveness, and justification. Even though the Bible is a unitary book, the new and the old testaments present salvation in different aspects. However, the different aspects are complementary. In fact, the Old Testament presents many prophesies about salvation that was fulfilled in the New Testament (Kärkkäinen 87).

The bible is what helps keeps our faith alive as it contains a rich amount of history that tells us of God’s revelation and the ways how our faith works. Although the bible contains numerous works of different people, it is still a work of God that helps our faith remain constant and grow, as everything written was under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. In some way, I was able to understand the value also of the other books, as before I did not really take interest of the other books included bible, aside from the likes of the Gospels, Genesis, Exodus, Psalms, and Proverbs. Nevertheless, I realized that the books are all part of the bible as each has a purpose to serve and stands as a testament to the infidelity of mankind, and of God’s unfailing love for
