OT 321-1 - Portraits of God in the Old Testament

Institution:

Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

Subject:

Description:

Patricia Kathleen Tull This is a course for those who would like to develop a helpful response to the oft-repeated comment, "I don't like the Old TestamentGod." The Hebrew Scriptures offer a variety of portrayals of God, some of which perplex modern people. Yet the majority of divine portraits, such as the ancient God of creation, the merciful God of the Psalms, and the beckoning God of the prophets, form the basis of Christian understanding of the divine. This one-credit course will explore the ways God is understood throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and the relationship of this God to Christian theological assumptions.
