Rather, they are narrations of Israel and its faith experiences as is reflected in the shape of the canon of the Old Testament. This course covers the way Israel passed on her own faith story (HIS-story) by beginning with the Creation and move through the Pentateuch, historical books of Joshua to 2 Kings, the Prophets, and the Writings.
