RB 211 - The Biblical Jesus

Institution:

Oakwood University

Subject:

Description:

3 hours An introductory study of the person and work of Jesus Christ as depicted in Scripture. This course explores the messages and Christological perspectives of each Gospel using an exegetical approach. The messages of the Gospels are explored in light of their historical, literary, sociocultural, and theological contexts. The product of this exegetical analysis will be used to reflect on Old Testament foreshadowings of Christ. Sound methodological principles of Old Testament Christocentric interpretation will be employed, such as promise-fulfillment, typology, and redemptive-historical progression. The Christologies of the New Testament documents will be examined. Special attention will be given to the relevance of the person and work of Jesus Christ for ministerial practice and contemporary Christian living.
