Covering Joshua through Nehemiah (with Esther as an appendix), this module examines the history of Israel’s occupation of the Promised Land, its transformation into a kingdom, and its eventual exile and return. Students will analyze the leadership of figures like Joshua, Deborah, Samuel, David, and Nehemiah, and study the spiritual and political shifts in Israel’s national story. This module highlights how obedience brings blessing and disobedience invites judgment, offering timeless lessons in leadership, repentance, and God’s covenant faithfulness.

This module provides insight into how biblical faith addresses the deepest questions of human experience. Students will explore Job’s struggle with suffering, the Psalms' poetic expressions of worship and lament, Proverbs' practical guidance for godly living, Ecclesiastes’ search for meaning, and the Song of Solomon’s celebration of covenant love. Together, these books demonstrate how to walk with God through seasons of joy, sorrow, uncertainty, and praise—teaching that true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord.

This module introduces students to the Major and Minor Prophets, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the twelve smaller prophetic books. Through these voices, students will hear God’s passionate calls for justice, repentance, and covenant renewal. These books also contain powerful messianic prophecies and visions of future hope. By studying their historical context, theological themes, and enduring relevance, students will learn how the prophetic message challenged Israel and still speaks prophetically to the Church today.

This final module connects the Old Testament to its ultimate fulfillment in the life and mission of Jesus Christ. Students will trace messianic prophecies, typologies, and redemptive themes that point directly to the New Testament gospel. From the promises made to Abraham to the Suffering Servant in Isaiah, the Scriptures foreshadow Christ’s work as Prophet, Priest, and King. This module helps students see the Old Testament not as a closed history, but as a living foundation for New Covenant faith.
