Jeremiah - Ezekiel: Human Failure & Divine Success - A Study in Contrast

In this course students will learn about two prophets whose ministry related to Jerusalem’s fall to the Babylonians. This unthinkable event is studied as a threat in Jeremiah and as a historical reality in Ezekiel. Both the miserable failure of God’s people and God’s success in judging and yet preserving His people are surveyed in this course that studies these two prophets.
