JoshuaSteve Gregg
This series of lectures by Steve Gregg delves into the historical books of the Old Testament, which provide insight into the origins, traditions, and major events in the lives of the Jewish people. Despite some differences in opinion regarding which books belong in the canon, Gregg emphasizes the importance of the prophetic tradition and the role of historical facts in these texts. Through examining sources like the Moabite stone and Babylonian Chronicle, Gregg argues that these books are compilations of historical facts and not solely religious texts.
