Jeremiah
Jeremiah is the most advanced SEAN course. It is designed to be accessible, but is not for beginners as it requires a great deal from the student.
The book of Jeremiah is complex, the often confusing structure sometimes deters people from studying it in-depth and therefore they do not discover its valuable contents. However, SEAN has developed this course to make it accessible and exciting for people who want to go deeper into the life, times, ministry and messages of one of the great prophets of the Old Testament.
Jeremiah is often portrayed as the prophet of doom and gloom! This may be the result of people's perception of what is, at first glance, an exceedingly complex and negative piece of literature. The emphasis of this course is on Jeremiah as God's prophet of HOPE, giving a fresh viewpoint from which to approach the Biblical material.
Many people find the text of Jeremiah chaotic because the letters and scrolls were put together without an apparent chronological order. The novel feature of this SEAN course is that it teaches the student to discover the key ‘signposts’ in the Biblical text which can help us to order the material and understand it better.
A ‘wave pattern’ has been developed in a special back-up chart so the student can follow the events of each successive reign and the thrilling story of Jeremiah's life within this context, in its most likely chronological order.
The student becomes a ‘fly on the wall’ in the workshop of Jeremiah and his secretary Baruch as, in those highly dangerous and inflammatory days and between successive imprisonments or periods of hiding from persecution, they painstakingly dated and stitched together the varied scrolls of the book.
