舊約聖經（希伯來聖經）是以色列百姓留給世人的精神成就，後來成為猶太教、基督教與伊斯蘭的共同遺產，可說是西方宗教文明的根源，在歷史上有著巨大的影響。本課程希望透過對舊約聖經的背景介紹和內容導讀，帶領同學進入舊約的世界，除了獲得關於聖經的基本認識外，亦能領略以色列百姓如何在宗教情操和民族情感間擺盪尋求，在塵世的痛苦掙扎中依然信靠上帝，等候彌賽亞拯救百姓的日子來臨。

The Old Holy Church (Hebrew Church) is a spiritual achievement left by the people of Israel to the world. Later, it became a common inheritance of Episode, Christianity and Islam. It can be said that it is the root of Western religious civilization and has a huge impact in history. This course hopes to lead classmates into the world of old dynasty through the background introduction and content introduction of the old dynasty. In addition to gaining basic knowledge about the dynasty, we can also give a glimpse into how the Israelites seek in religious sentiments and national emotions, and still trust God in the pain of the world, waiting for the day when the dynasty saves the people.
