Jeremiah as Christian Scripture

$199.00

In the Reformed tradition we have a high view of the OT as Christian Scripture. We know that all of Scripture witnesses in a rich way to Christ, crucified and raised, and yet, some books are more challenging to read in this life-giving way than others. This course will build on ancient as well as recent insights into Christian hermeneutics in the pursuit of a sensitive, Christ-exalting, and edifying reading of the book of Jeremiah.
