Genesis-Leviticus: God Builds a People For Himself

 

Course Description

This course tells the story of Israel’s roots. From creation of all things to the creation of Israel as a nation at Sinai, this lesson studies God’s process of building a nation to represent Him on earth. It is the foundation for understanding the struggles and triumphs of the relationship between God and Israel that is recorded in the rest of the Old Testament books.

Video lectures are the key learning activity within each lesson. The teaching notes will lead you through the provided materials.

 

Lesson Structure

Each lesson is organized around a similar set of requirements. It is important that you review the lesson goals for each lesson so that you will be familiar with the learning outcomes required for that lesson. The lesson lectures are available in video, audio, or text format. You will also find reading requirements, journaling, discussion forum questions, and other learning activities in many of the lessons.

 

Self-Paced Learning

You will be able to take this course at your own pace. Once you enroll in the course, there is a 180 day time limit in which you must complete the entire course.

 

Interaction

As others take this course with you, you may be given opportunity to interact with them using the discussion forum. This is an important part of many lessons as it provides an opportunity to reflect on what you have learned and share your ideas with others.

 

Journaling

In some lessons you may be asked to use a loose-leaf binder or a spiral notebook to journal. If you are not asked to respond in the online discussion forum (see Interaction above), write your responses in your course journal. This will enable you to review your thoughts at a later time during the course, as well as any time in the future.
