New Testament II
Instructor: Rev. J. Mark Lawson, Ph.D.

This course focuses on the epistolary material of the New Testament and the book of Revelation, asking the questions:

What factors led to the creation of our Christian New Testament?
What do the New Testament epistles teach us about the development of early Christianity?
How do these epistles function as "scripture" in our own time?

Students engage in the critical study of the text and are taught exegetical method. This is a blended course: for those at a distance, February's two sessions can be attended via web conferencing.
