In Book Study: Numbers Dr. Dale Brueggemann examines the history of Israel’s wilderness wanderings from Egypt to the Promised Land, as recounted in the book of Numbers. He covers iconic events such as the spies’ report of Canaan, Moses’ striking the rock, Balaam’s blessing Israel, and the bronze serpent in detail and also reflects on the major theological themes behind such events—themes such as rebellion and sin, intercession, divine mercy, covenant promises, and purification/expiation. You will come away from the course with a better understanding of, not only the content book of the book, but also its lasting message for New Covenant believers today.
