Grappling with the Old Testament
Dates and times for 2024 to be confirmed
This study programme for Lent attempts to engage people with real matters for life today, illuminated by the Old Testament literature and the insights and experiences it opens up to us.
Why study the Old Testament?
For many of those who come to our churches, the Old Testament seems an “optional extra”. It appears to more and more of us to have only marginal impact or importance for our understanding of what it means to be a Christian.
Aims of this programme
- To offer to all-comers the opportunity to learn about and understand at greater depth the nature of and diversity of Old Testament texts – their contexts and their purposes
- To challenge people to consider how such Old Testament texts may illuminate and provoke consideration of matters of real-life concern for the Church today
