COURSE PREVIEW

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Book of Deuteronomy is in many ways the most important book within the Torah of Moses. It is one of three books (together with Psalms and Isaiah) most quoted by New Testament authors. It is also one of the three books found in the Dead Sea Scroll collection in Qumran with the greatest number of individual copies. Together with Prof. Pinchas Shir you will discover never before noticed insights of how the Book of Deuteronomy deals with a number of important New Testament topics and texts.

Together with other students, you will clarify the relationships between 10 commandments and other (603 remaining) commandments. You will discover how Biblical witnesses work within the structure of this most important for Jewish life book, especially what it has to do with two or three Christ-followers coming together (among other things). Most importantly you will make a significant progress in grasping how to think as an Ancient Hebrew, which is crucial for understanding the original messages of both Deuteronomy and the New Testament.

Just wanted to express my gratitude for this course. I have enjoyed and been challenged by the several courses I have already taken but John’s Gospel is one of my favorites. I so appreciated the fresh eyes this class has given me. God’s word and work is so amazing. Thank you!

Following your teachings in this course makes me realize how blind I seem to have been in the interpretation of the Scriptures. Thank you deeply from my heart!

Great teaching! This has probably been my favorite yet. I wear a talit for Shabbat each week. We honor all of GODs WORD! I so love the excitement in you!

I am a student of IBC for almost a year now. I truly enjoy all the lessons especially the ones you are teaching Prof. Shir. Todah Rabbah!

“Please know that these classes are not only inspiring for me but each one has opened revelations and clarifications that have deepened my walk and understanding of Scripture as well as the Jewish faith and the Israeli people.”

This had a wonderfully strong focus on the text and the context (linguistically and historically) how it may have come to be written. The focus on meaning-then vs. meaning-now is both helpful and thought-provoking in gaining a deeper understanding of what the text may really be about.

Thank you, Dr. Korner, for an excellent class! I have never heard this perspective on Revelation before, and it makes perfect sense!
