Michael

Making Peace with Old Testament Violence

Your work is helping me formulate a Jesus-breathed way of understanding justice and the compassion of Jesus’s life. The peace acronym has been extraordinarily helpful studying the difficult biblical language.

Annabel

Selections from the Psalms

What I particularly like about this course is the way N.T. Wright links the Psalm under consideration with other themes of Scripture in a way that all makes sense, and enables me to see themes lurking under the surface.

Mark

Reading Biblical Narrative

Brilliant and well-organized lecture series. Dr. Imes is very articulate and offers helpful examples of the points she is making. Downloadable documents are very helpful. Couldn’t be more pleased with this course!

Life of Moses

Dr. Imes is thorough, paced and vibrant in her teaching which makes learning exciting and intriguing

Mike

Book of Genesis

I am loving this course. Beginning to understand Genesis--through which we can grasp God's purpose in history and his promises to his people--has brought a richness to my understanding of the rest of the story of the Bible.

John

Selections from the Psalms

What more can I say than this course is simply outstanding. If you want to rekindle your love of the Psalms as happened for me with this course then just do it. You won't regret it.

Jeffrey

The Servant King

A wonderful and thought provoking course. Prof. Wright helps us understand what the New Testament writers knew and understood, that God's plan was evident in the Old Testament as a whole.

Victoria

The Book of Daniel

This course exceeded my hopes to gain greater understanding and insight into the remarkable human Daniel was, his extraordinary prophetic gifts and interpretation, how this book is applicable to my Christian walk.
