The Pentateuch: The Heart of the Old Testament

Lifelong Learning | Registration closed 4/4/2025

The Pentateuch, referred to in Hebrew as the Torah, is considered by many as the “heart of the Old Testament”, just as the gospels are seen as the heart of the New Testament.  This course will examine the Pentateuch in its historical, cultural, and literary context, as well as reflecting upon the relevance of the Pentateuch for people today.

This class will skip April 15 and will end on April 22.
