• On Campus

This course is an analysis of the New Testament from the perspective and methodology of contemporary biblical theology. While not ignoring the Old Testament, it focuses on an exploration of methodological issues and topics in Christian theology. Methodologically, the course will especially examine narrative approaches to Biblical theology. Thematically, the course focuses on the following themes in particular: the mission of God, the person and work of Christ, the person and work of the Spirit, the Kingdom (of God) and the Gospel, a Biblical understanding of the people of God, ethics, and eschatology. The course also explores how these themes relate to the Christian life and ministry. As a result of completing this course, the student will 1. Evaluate the major theological themes that emerge through the NT 2. Trace the trajectory of biblical theology as it evolves from the OT and its imprint on theology that is distinctively new in the NT. 3. Employ the method of deriving biblical theology to various topics in the New Testament 4. Apply the results of biblical theology to life and ministry.
