Description

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.

Testimonials

Ms. Baer’s ability to make lessons both engaging and meaningful really sets her apart. She brings the material to life in a way that keeps students interested while also helping them truly understand, and we’ve been so impressed that we’re already looking forward to enrolling in our third class with her this fall!

Howell, Parent

My son is really enjoying the Old Testament class. The way it is taught is engaging, fun, and makes my son think—not just memorize facts. The class has covered so much more than he’s learned at Sunday School or through Bible curricula, and it has pulled his Bible knowledge together into one cohesive story that makes sense.
I really like learning about the Old Testament in different ways. It has helped me understand the Bible more.

Student

I really liked Old Testament Survey because it gave me a new point of view of the Bible.

Mrs. Baer is an absolute treasure! Down-to-earth, always smiling, and she just “has a way” with the high school age group. Her before-class prayers were heartfelt. Thankful my son was part of her class.
