121G Old Testament Intensive: Joshua to Samuel

This course covers the Biblical text in Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1-9.

Israel becomes a nation. God's chosen people enter Canaan and begin the conquest of the land. But because the people's obedience is not complete, the nation will suffer greatly as God chastises Israel by the hands of her enemies. Judges will call Israel back to God periodically. Meanwhile Israel fails to be the blessing to the nations she was intended by God. He reveals that His plan of redemption is for all peoples. He mercifully illustrates this by reaching beyond the Israelite borders and bringing Ruth, a Moabitess, into the Messianic line.
