W2D1: Repetition and Contrast—The Contextual River

Repetition and Contrast—The Contextual River

The video lectures we have had describe the nature of the Old Testament as a book of contrasts and repetition. We have seen the Bible as a river of context, giving us turns that we both expect and those that surprise us. By now, in your reading, you’ve seen these characteristics in the Old Testament.

• How have you seen at least one example of either repetition or contrast in the Old Testament?
• You can emphasize either the repetition of a similar action, character, or place; or you can show how we are surprised when a new action, character, or place occurs when we expected a repetition of what had happened before.

Please review what is already posted and add an example which is not yet been shared.

Moses and Joshua are the two crucial leaders in this period.

• Briefly describe the distinct challenges each of them face. How do they each demonstrate remarkable faith?
• Who has the more difficult task: the one who goes first or the one who has to follow in very large footsteps? (You might discuss this in terms of which is harder: to be the first-born in the family or to be the last born?)
