Some of the courses from AWKNG require textbooks. We have received the following from AWKNG with regard to many of our students not being able to afford the cost of textbooks:
“Most AWKNG courses use textbooks that the student will need to acquire in order to fully engage in the course. However, when this is not possible, especially for folks in other countries, students just proceed in the course with only the online resources that are provided.”
We suggest doing a thorough website search for the suggested textbooks, as they may be available for use in online lending libraries, etc.
This course is the first of a two-course series that is based on Dr. Heiser’s book, The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible. Starting with the Old Testament, Dr. Heiser takes a behind-the-scenes look at Chapters 1 through 22 to uncover what the Bible really says about the supernatural unseen world. You’ll journey into the ancient world of the Old Testament to learn about the historical and cultural milieu of the Bible’s original authors and audiences.

Many modern Christians question and some have rejected the orthodox notion that Jesus the Messiah was divine. Based on popular authors, many of these reckon that the deity of Christ is a doctrine that was created centuries after Jesus lived and died. In this course we’ll demonstrate that Paul, the earliest writing Christian theologian, wrote his letters explicitly claiming Christ’s deity just decades after Jesus’ crucifixion. He did so chiefly, though not exclusively, by the ways in which he reread his Bible, the Old Testament. This conviction was not exclusive to Paul; it was also shared with other early Christian authors. Thus, we’ll also consider how Matthew used the Old Testament with a view to Christ’s divinity.
