As we lead up to our second Lead U Conference (For the Life of the Church: Christianity and Cultural Engagement, April 27-28), we are sharing links to the presentations from our first conference last fall, Christianity and the Death of the Old Testament. Below is a brief summary of this week’s featured presentation with a link to the video. We hope you will join us on April 27-28 for our second conference!
Breakout Session #2A: “Reading the Old Testament in Its Ancient Near Eastern Context” by Steve Andrews
Summary: In this session Dr. Andrews provides a helpful background to the historical and cultural context in which the Hebrews authors wrote the Old Testament Scriptures. Dr. Andrews provides some helpful contextual overview as well as a specific case study with the aim of showing how and why study of the ANE background helps us understand the Old Testament Text.
