A comprehensive exploration of the Torah and its significance for believers, particularly in its role as a narrative pointing to the Messiah, Yeshua.
Through personal insights and theological reflections, Dr. Postell highlights key themes such as covenant, redemption, and the prophetic nature of the Torah. The course emphasizes reading the Torah as a unified story, rather than merely a book of laws, and shows how it anticipates the New Covenant and the coming of the Messiah. Special attention is given to understanding the Torah’s relevance for both Jewish and Gentile believers, fostering a deeper appreciation of God’s redemptive plan throughout Scripture.

This was the first course I took on this website and it just blew my mind! I highly recommend it! Thank you Seth, you’re an amazing teacher! I learned and enjoyed it a lot! It also gave me healthy limits to my creative side in the interpretation of the Scriptures (so I don’t go astray). I’m so happy and thankful.
Love for the word of God is enhanced through knowledge and healthy reverence
I’ve very much enjoyed these lessons but even when iv completed a lesson it says I didn’t complete it. When I actually did. Lesson 10 now I’m on my second time through it but as great as it is it’s long and I’d like to move on lol.

Taking this course was an adventure. An absolute joy. An eye-opening experience. Seth covered quite a bit of material in each lesson; so much that I repeated a few of them just to make sure that I didn’t miss anything. When all is said and done, what I have gained is a deeper appreciation of my salvation and a renewed joy and excitement in reading God’s Word.
