About this course
This course is free because of the generosity of our Vision Partners.
In this course, you will explore the foundations of Messianic Jewish theology by tracing the narrative of God’s covenantal relationship with humanity through the lens of Israel and the Nations. You will examine Israel as a representative nation, Yeshua (Jesus) as Israel’s representative, and the eschatological significance of God’s promises to Israel. Along the way, you will engage key topics such as the theological role of the Torah, Israel’s worship, the coming of Messiah, and the conquest of evil. The course also helps you understand the Jewish context of the Holy Spirit’s arrival and unpack the biblical concept of the “One New Man” as it applies to unity within the body of believers.
