Audits Not Allowed
  
  • BIB 630 - New Testament: Gospels and Acts (3)


    GR

    The first four books of the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are commonly known as “the Gospels.” These books explain the life and ministry of Jesus, and are the basis for most of the distinctive doctrines of Christianity. The book of Acts orients students to the ministries of Jesus’ earliest witnesses, the Apostles. Setting their work in historical context, this course also examines the theological and missiological challenges of forming a new social body comprised of Jews and Gentiles together, who worship Jesus the Messiah and bear witness to his rule over all nations. Audits Not Allowed
  
  • BIB 634 - New Testament: Paul and His Letters (3)


    GR

    Paul passionately proclaimed the good news of individual salvation in Jesus Christ. But this wasn’t the heart of Paul’s gospel. According to Paul, salvation is not merely about individuals being saved from the wrath of God. Rather, the gospel is about the triumph of Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God. It is about God redeeming and recreating the heavens and the earth through Jesus Christ, and about our participation in that renewed world. Audits Not Allowed
  
  • BIB 638 - New Testament: Hebrews to Revelation (3)


    GR

    This course orients students to the spread of Christianity from the imperial center of Rome to its eastern edges in Asia Minor. Set in the historical context of the rupture with the synagogue and the growing strength of the imperial cult, the general epistles of the New Testament and the Book of Revelation address the reappropriation of Israel’s Scriptures in the church and growing persecution for pursuing a unique social identity as the body of Christ. This course examines this challenge to Christian identity in its historical context through the unique lenses of apostolic sermons, letters and prophetic vision to equip students to appropriate these apostolic resources to shape Christian identity today.
