With Rev. Sebastian A. Carnazzo, PhD
An Introductory survey of the books of the Old Testament with focus on their historical context, biblical typology and preparation for the New Testament
Introduction to the Old Testament
A survey of all the books of the Old Testament, classified as historical, wisdom and prophetical. This study will examine, with an emphasis in traditional Biblical typology, the revelatory stages of salvation history and the importance of fulfilled prophecy. Throughout the course, the students will be directed to the canon of traditional iconographic representation of significant events of the Old Covenant and thereby, have a unique understanding both of the truths being considered and the importance of visual imagery in the proclamation of the Faith and ongoing catechesis.
