This course is a 6-week overview of the New Testament. After an opening session which introduces the 1st century context of the New Testament, the course will examine the 4 Gospels, highlighting major themes and giving general interpretive guidance. Following that study, an overview of the book of Acts will serve as a transition between the gospel literature in the New Testament and the epistles. The course will then continue to examine the letters of Paul, the other general letters, and then finally will end with an overview of the book of Revelation. A general overview of the historical setting and major themes of these works will be provided, with a focus on how these books form our faith, theology, and practice today.
