Old Testament Themes & Messianic Prophecies (Spring Quarter in One Pod!) with Stanford Gibson, Miriam Hamilton, and Peter Nittler

Your Pod and Your Staff

We had a plan. A good plan. The College Life Spring Quarter teaching schedule was going to be – oh baby! After finishing laying out the story of the Old Testament in the Winter, we were primed for a chance to talk about the good stuff – the themes of the Old Testament and how it all points to Jesus Christ. The Coronavirus had other plans, and so now we’re putting ALL that Old Testament goodness into one episode. Here, Stanford Gibson, Miriam Hamilton, and Peter Nittler share their pitches of what would’ve been their Tuesday Night talks this Spring. There’s some good ideas – how did Jesus fulfill Messianic promises and hopes? Why does the word “remember” show up so much in these texts? And, there’s some ideas that will make you want to say, “yaa – you probably want to put that in the maybes”. The Old Testament is hard, confusing, and can feel distant, we hope this conversation makes it feel easier, clearer, and closer to your life.

Stanford mentioned something called Goodhart’s Law – it was cool. He also wrote a blog post about it. Check it out here.
