Old Testament Survey: God’s Plan of Redemption Course Overview

This live online Old Testament Survey Bible class for homeschool students explores the grand narrative of Scripture and God’s unfolding plan to redeem His people and bring the nations to Himself. Families can explore all of our homeschool Bible courses.

Students trace the biblical storyline from Creation to the anticipation of Christ’s first coming. By studying the Old Testament in chronological order, students gain historical context while learning how the message of redemption and the promise of the Messiah develop throughout Scripture.

Along the way, students examine key themes of the Old Testament, including covenant, faithfulness, judgment, mercy, and restoration.

The course also helps students develop a biblical perspective for understanding suffering and injustice while identifying important attributes of God’s character that inspire worship and deepen personal faith.
