A six week course on the meaning of the narratives of the Old Testament.

It will be held online, to allow as many people as possible to attend, and to prevent people travelling at night. All the dates below are Thursday evenings, and will begin at 7.30pm.

The GMeet links are below, and will be published weekly by email, and on our Facebook page.

The aim is to give laity a broad overview of the Old Testament narratives; how they fit together; what kind of language they contain; and how they look towards what we now call the New Testament. A downloadable handout will be produced for each session, on the day.
