    OLD TESTAMENT ESSAYS
    Genesis - 1 Kings 12
    Introduction

    by Christopher C. Warren, M.A.(Oxon)

    Old Testament Essays (Genesis - 1 Kings 12) is a series of short lectures given to theology students between 1982 and 1983 studying for the Advanced Level Certificate in Education at London University when the author was then Principal of St.Albans College, Oxford, a private tutorial GCE (General Certificate of Education) establishment (not a part of Oxford University).

    It is important to understand that the framework and style of writing is predominantly academic and scientific - these are not sermons. Multiple views are expressed including those not held by this ministry so as to give some idea how both non-believers and liberal Christians approach the Bible. At the time of writing, the author held to a neo-orthodox theological position.

    The syllabus material covers the early traditions of the Hebrews to the division of the Kingdom and the religious ideas shown in these books without going into a detailed study of the Pentateuch (the first five books of Moses). Scripture quotations and essay materials have been updated (2009) to include the Divine Names (Yahweh, Yah'shua, Elohim, etc.) in accordance with the policy of this website.

    The version of the Bible chosen for study was the Revised Standard Version (RSV), 1952 Edition, with references to other versions where this was felt would enhance the original meaning of the receptor tongue (Hebrew).
