You will come to see how the Old Testament prefigures and lends meaning to the New Testament. Along the way you will examine and appreciate the content of each book, looking at its relation to other biblical books and how it has been read throughout history.

This is more than a Bible study: It is a profound program that will lead you to discover valuable insights into your own life and faith.
