Jesus: The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob From Verse to Verse: The Testaments tied by the Jewish Wedding Tradtions

The Jewish Marriage and Betrothal Ceremony provides the structure for both the Old and New Testaments. In this course, we will explore how New Testament authors skillfully incorporated these Old Testament themes into their writing by utilizing existing Jewish Midrashic techniques. In addition, we will examine the background and significant contributions of Ezra the Scribe, who played a pivotal role in preserving and compiling the books of Moses, the Prophets and the Writings (aka., The Old Testament). Through an examination of Midrashic hermeneutics, we will uncover the interpretive principles employed by ancient Jewish scribes, including the importance of community consensus in the interpretation of scripture. By the end of this course, students will gain a comprehensive understanding and overview of the Jewish Marriage Theology Thread woven through the Old and New Testaments, as well as the Jewish world during the time of the New Testament and its impact on the biblical text.
