ET101: Old Testament Survey: Genesis to Joshua
- Mentor: ETS Mentor 1
- Mentor: Joe Dooley
This course covers creation to the Promised Land through literary, historical, and theological analysis. Major themes are traced through redemptive history as each biblical book is examined. Important theological issues, such as creation, fall, covenant, and law, are examined in the context of the ANE and Israel’s own historical setting. Such analysis is foundational for understanding the rest of Scripture and for how this section of Scripture has meaning for God’s people today.
ET102: Old Testament Survey: Judges to Poets

This course is an exposition of two major portions of the Old Testament: the Historical Books and the Wisdom Literature. As such, it will focus on the historical periods of Israel’s estatement in the land of Canaan, the United and Divided Monarchies, and the destruction and subsequent Exile of both Israel and Judah. In addition, it will consider the poetic writings of the Hebrews, much of which was penned during the historical periods just mentioned. Our approach will be both exegetical (historical-grammatical) and theological (the unfolding of redemptive history).
ET103: Old Testament Survey: Prophets: Isaiah-Malachi

An expository study of the message of the prophets which looks at their meaning in the context of OT history, which is foundational for understanding their message for God’s people today. Issues surrounding the interpretation of prophecy, the unfolding of revelation in relationship to the Messiah, and the significance of the prophets for ministry are emphasized.

THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION FROM A CHURCH-BASED PERSPECTIVE

Ekklesia Theological Seminary is in the stream of a movement to recover the unity of church and theological education. We see a place for the academy but we believe that place is best expressed in the context of the local church. Ekklesia functions under the oversight of Mount Zion Bible Church as one of the ministries of Chapel Library.

EDUCATING FOR MINISTRY IN THE CONTEXT OF MINISTRY

If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. - 1 Timothy 4:6
