The last three books of the Pentateuch – Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy – are among the most challenging in the Bible. From obscure rituals to the narratives of Israel in the wilderness, from the law against homosexuality to the golden rule, from Mount Sinai to the border of Canaan, these books span a wide range of genres, contents, locations, and theological positions. In these six sessions, we will make our way through this maze of material, and see how the most challenging material can also be the most rewarding.
The six sessions will occur on September 15, 22, 29, October 6, 13, and 20. After attending all six sessions, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.
