Reviews

In this section, you will find the review slides from the course lectures for module 5. This is a convenient way to view and review the summaries for each lecture. Click the banner to begin the slide show.

Review Slideshow

Click Here to closeopen

Click the prev. and next buttons (bottom right of the slide) to move through the slides. You can also click on any thumbnail to go directly to that slide.

It is highly recommended that the student recite these reviews out loud as an aid to memory. Some memory aids and tricks were mentioned in the Lectures for some of the summaries (e.g. SCRuB). The student should also brainstorm any shorthand memory aids to help them commit these review summaries to memory. The student should not just attempt to memorize the summaries, but also to use the summaries as a framework to understand and retain the nature and content of the Old Testament.

Course Material Response Reflection

The Student will choose one or more items from either the Video Lectures or the Course Textbook which stood out as personally significant to them. The student will then reflect and write on the item(s); how it/they challenged or added to their current understanding, and how their worldview, life, and/or ministry should be affected by their new understanding.

Detailed instructions for this activity can be found by clicking the link below:

Course Material Response Journal (for individuals)

Course Material Response Discussion (for Groups)

Timeline - Step Five

The student will research and present an Old Testament Timeline in seven steps over the course of all seven modules.

Step Five of the Timeline should include the following information:

The events, characters, and Bible books for each of the Major Prophetic Books.
These should be appropriately placed in the historical epochs as displayed in the first step of this project.

If you are working through this material in a group, the group leader may choose for the Timeline to be constructed as a group activity during the group meeting time.

How do the restoration promises of Ezekiel chapter 36 apply to Christian life today and how should we respond to them?
What is the main concept of the prophets? Give an example from two different prophetic books. How does this apply in your own life and ministry?
