Theologians sometimes use the big, sophisticated-sounding German word Heilsgeschichte, a compound word made up of the individual German words Heil, meaning “salvation” and Geschichte, meaning “history” or “story”, which makes the compound mean “salvation history”. More-simply put, Heilsgeschichte is “the story of salvation”, including everything from Adam and Eve’s creation and their fall into sin, to the story of Noah and the flood, Abraham and Isaac, Moses and the Passover, King David and the establishment of the Kingdom, Elijah and Elisha, and the like, all the way down to the end of time as we know it. Their stories are “the story of salvation”, but “the story of salvation” is not just their story. “The story of salvation” is your story and my story, too. Of course, to refer to our “story” of salvation is not to suggest that it is something imaginary or otherwise untrue but to refer to the “account” of salvation as reported in the divinely inspired and therefore inerrant Word of Holy Scripture.
Beginning Wednesday, August 14, 2013, and on each Wednesday thereafter for the foreseeable future (with the usual hiatuses for such things as Advent and Lent), our Midweek Bible Study is studying, in chronological order, the events of Salvation History as recorded in that Holy Scripture. Starting in the Old Testament, we will concentrate on this historical books—books such as Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, 1 & 2 Samuel, and 1 & 2 Kings—but we also will take in the prophetic books and the other writings. When we get to the time between the Testaments, we will consider some of what are called the Old Testament Apocrypha, especially the more historical books. When we get to the New Testament, we will concentrate on the Gospel accounts and Acts but refer to the epistles, too. We will avoid the pitfalls that might in some cases accompany talking about Heilsgeschichte, and we will realize overall that the story of salvation is truly our story, as it applies to and is about us and our salvation.
We meet Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the Conference Room/Library. You are always welcome and invited both to attend the class in person yourself and to invite and bring family and friends with you. Alternatively, if you are out of the area or are socially isolating due to the coronavirus, call to be put on the speakerphone or Skype in. You are also welcome at any time to make use of the audio recordings and handouts posted below (when available).
