COURSE
DESCRIPTIONS
The Book of Deuteronomy
by Rev Quek Keng Khwang, B.A., M.Div
(Asst. Pastor of Life Bible-Presbyterian Church)
Monday, 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
(Beginning on 13 Jul)
J
ESUS QUOTED from this book on ten occasions. It was the only Old Testament book
Jesus quoted when He resisted the devil in
the wilderness. Also, the apostle Paul referred to
this book in his epistles. Scholars believe that it
was Deuteronomy that King Josiah had found and
ignited his reforms.
Deuteronomy is not a mere repetition of the
Law, it is Law that is expounded and preached by
Moses to the children of Israel on the verge of the
Promised Land. These are the parting words of
the man who communed with God face to face
(i.e., without a mediator) to a new generation of Israel. His words in Deuteronomy spring from a personal and intimate knowledge of God that had
matured over 120 years. Written in the form of a
suzerain-vassal covenant, it affirms God's covenantal love for His people. This course will help
students to understand the book and to apply it in
their lives. (2 CREDITS)

M.R.E., B.A., Ph.D (candidate)

The Old Testament Poetic Books
by Rev Charles Seet, B.Th, M.Div
(Pastor of Life Bible-Presbyterian Church)
Wednesday, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
(Beginning on 15 Jul)
T
HIS COURSE covers both a study of the
Hebrew poetry in general as well as the
contents of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. These five
books, which take up one-fifth of the Old Testament, contain some of the most beautiful and
powerful literature of human history and deal with
some of the most basic and universal questions
asked by men. But they are also personal in character. Bullock said, “One might read the Pentateuch and see only a faint shadow of himself reflected there. The Historical books may overwhelm him with facts and events. The Prophets
may pass him by with their deep convictions and
concerns about their own societies and the world.
But the Poetic books will find him wherever he is.”

by Rev Dr Jack Sin, M.Div, D.Min
