COURSE DESCRIPTION
What are the names of the God of Israel and what do they mean in the language of the Bible, Hebrew? In this course, we will study the names of God as revealed in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The course will make use of Biblical Hebrew to aid our understating of the unseen realm, the divine council, as well as the eternal essence of God and His work in the history of salvation. In this course, we discuss the following divine names: El Shaddai, Immanuel, the LORD Will Provide, the LORD is Our Righteousness, the LORD is My Banner, the LORD is Thy Healer, the LORD is My Shepherd, the LORD of Shalom (peace), ADONAI (Lord), the LORD is There. Some theological issues that will be discussed include the following: (1) What do the divine names reveal about God’s essence? (2) How do God’s names reveal the Messianic hope concealed in the Hebrew Bible? (3) What does it mean to call upon the name of Adonai? (4) How does the New Testament unpack the Immanuel prophecy of Isaiah? (5) How does the knowledge of God’s names help deepen our relationship with the God of Israel? Part 2 of “The Names of God” course is independent of Part 1. NO prior knowledge of Hebrew is required.
