Last week to register for JR500 – Judaism and Christianity: Abraham to the Holocaust
The purpose of this course is to help students understand the history of the Jewish people from the call of Abraham, through the First Testament, between the Testaments, the New Testament, the Roman era, and Christian-Jewish history from Constantine through the Holocaust. This is God’s redemptive history of His people, both Jews and Christians.
Those who want to earn a Diploma in Hebraic-Christian Studies may do so by answering the questions at the end of each lesson and submitting their answers electronically through email as a Word Document. Students who are not interested in earning the diploma need not submit their answers.
Students who submit their answers are assigned a graduate assistant who will review the answers, record the student’s progress and send comments back to the students. Once students have completed all the requirements for graduation, they will be awarded a Diploma in Hebraic-Christian Studies.
* Due to COVID-19, all IHCS classes will be held on a Facebook Live private group and Zoom until further notice. All lessons are archived on the Facebook Live private group.
