its authority as the Word of God. The main focus will be on the purpose of God for creating humanity, the event of the fall of Adam that resulted to sin and
suffering, and the plan of salvation the LORD promised and accomplished in the history of Israel. The fulfillment of the promise in the New Testament will be
