Course Outline - Hebrews & Leviticus
HEBREWS & LEVITICUS
ABTC currently offers Hebrews and Leviticus as its latest course offering.
Ever wondered how to study the book of Hebrews with its many difficult passages or the book of Leviticus which seems to have little relations with all its ceremonies to 21st century Christians. This course will examine both these books paying special attention to how the person of Christ connects these two books together. On a larger scale this course will also address how the two covenants, the Old and the New relate to each other.
Course Description
1. Theological themes of the person and work of Christ
2. Background materials found in Leviticus are compared with themes found in Hebrews
3. The office of the priesthood of Christ as found in Hebrews is compared to the Levitical priesthood
4. Study of the tabernacle in its purpose, plan and construction
5. Old Testament types and shadows are shown in relation to the New Testament plan of salvation
