In this course, we will focus primarily on the writings of the New Testament with an emphasis on the person and work of Jesus Christ. We will study the story of the Kingdom of God through the birth, life, teachings, death, and resurrection of the promised Messiah. There will be development of proper hermeneutical methods and practical applications of biblical truth. Students will explore the story of Jesus of Nazareth, his closest followers, and the impact of the early church on the world. Students will be challenged to evaluate the truth claims of the Gospel against their own worldview, beliefs, and presuppositions with special reflection to the counter-cultural nature of Jesus’s teachings and practices.
