AMCL2025: A Biblical Theology of Faith – Lecture 1
This is the first lecture in the 2025 Annual Moore College Lectures on the theme A Biblical Theology of Faith, where Dr Peter Orr explores faith in God’s promises from Genesis to 2 Kings.
Dr Peter Orr lays the foundation for a biblical theology of faith by examining how faith is understood and expressed in the Old Testament. From Adam and Eve to Abraham, and through the Law and covenant, Dr Orr shows how faith is a relational trust in God’s word and character. He also addresses common misunderstandings about the continuity of faith across the Old and New Testaments. This lecture sets the theological groundwork for tracing faith through the rest of the biblical story.
This lecture is essential for anyone seeking to understand the unity of Scripture and how the concept of faith evolves across redemptive history. By focusing on God’s promises from Genesis through to 2 Kings, Dr Orr reveals how faith was not merely belief, but a lived trust in the reliability of God’s covenant word. Whether you’re a student of theology, a pastor, or someone seeking to deepen your understanding of biblical faith, this lecture will enrich your grasp of how the Old Testament lays the foundation for the New.
