COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course details Yahweh’s messages to the Chosen People through the people called to be prophets. Through many centuries long before Jesus’ birth, and in and around various cultures and contexts, they persisted. Often they spoke harshly, but always in love. Their calling was to call their beloved but often wayward brothers and sisters in faith to return to their loving God, Yahweh.
COURSE PURPOSE: Our purpose is to build a bridge between the prophets of the First Testament and us, allowing us to see both how they differ from us in our time and how we remain the same, even across many centuries. They have much to teach us about clear-eyed, courageous, heartfelt trust in the One who embraces us in grace and love, and grants us the gift of hope for a blessed future.
