For much of the year, we will use the 24 lessons on The Old Testament presented by The Great Courses. Prof. Amy Jill-Levine authors and presents the lessons. She is the E. Rhodes & Leona B. Carpenter Professor of New Testament and Professor of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School and College of Arts & Sciences. She is a member of an Orthodox Jewish synagogue. We will begin each lesson with a 30-minute video followed by discussion.
