This course will give the student knowledge concerning the background of the Old Testament, enable him to develop specific answers to the critical arguments, and cultivate a high regard for the practicality of the Old Testament in this modern age.
- Many religious sects, denominations, and cults profess to teach the true way, yet their various versions of the "true way" differ greatly.
