This course will explore the books of the Prophets, who emerged in ancient Israel as an eclectic group identified only by their claim to speak for God, and their "high octave" condemnation of the socio-political and religious condition of their time. They communicated by preaching, singing, crying, walking naked and shaving, to name a few. This course will also study the great body of biblical literature which consists of the hymns, laments and thanksgivings of the book of Psalms, the wisdom sayings of Israel collected in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes, the deep grief expressed in Lamentations, and the love songs of the Song of Songs. This course shall explore the relationship of the prophetic books and the Writings to the rest of the canon and then focus on specific issues, themes and theologies in the books.

New Testament Study 1 is a foundational course in the study of the New Testament, covering Matthew, Mark, Luke-Acts, John, Hebrews, James, and Revelation. In order to appropriate the message of the New Testament for the world today, we need to first place ourselves back in the political, religious, and cultural world of the first century, and respect these documents as ancient narratives, written within a particularized historical setting and readership, by people of faith for the community of faith. Being more aware of our presuppositions, we can better allow the biblical authors to speak for themselves in their unique witness to the life of Jesus and the early church.
