BI312 A Biblical Theology of Redemption: Themes and Interpretation
Overview
A Biblical Theology of Redemption: Themes and Interpretation (BI312) by Dr. Erika Moore takes an in-depth look at redemption. The course opens with an introduction to biblical theology and how it compares to systematic theology. From there, Dr. Moore examines the history of redemption, beginning with Genesis and the early covenants and moving through the Old Testament into the New. The course concludes by looking at union with Christ and discussing how redemption is applied to believers. An example of how to preach redemption from the Old Testament is also provided.

“And then the animal dies in the worshiper’s place. It’s an incredibly bloody scene. The blood represents the life of the animal, according to Scripture. It’s a living, breathing animal that’s being sacrificed, and it’s a very sad occasion: an animal has to die. The blood represents the life of the animal, and that’s the whole point. There’s an emphasis on the seriousness of sin and just the horrible consequences.” (source)
“‘The idea of redemption must not be reduced to the general notion of deliverance. The language of redemption is the language of purchase and more specifically of ransom. And ransom is the securing of a release by the payment of a prize.’ So we’ll want to add to Hubbard’s definition that redemption also indicates that there’s a dear cost involved in this process of deliverance.” (source)
“It proceeds with historical and literary sensitivity and seeks to analyze and synthesize the Bible’s teaching about God and his relations to the world on its own terms, maintaining sight of the Bible’s overarching narrative and Christocentric focus.’” (source)
