A beginner's course in the language of the New Testament in which the basic elements of grammar are studied and guidance provided in the use of interpretive tools. The student is introduced to elementary readings in the New Testament. (Students who have taken Greek in college may want to test out of this course and may wish to take Hebrew in its place).
-
3.00 Credits
A sampling of Greek texts from John's Gospel and a Pauline letter for further practice in translation. Attention will be given not only to the language but also to its broader setting in the ancient Mediterranean world, and implications for contemporary preaching and teaching.
-
3.00 Credits
Prophets 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 conditions of their time. They communicated by preaching, singing, crying, walking naked, shaving, etc. They braved social isolation, jail and even death, yet they insisted that God had spoken to them, and their words would shape the future. This course shall explore the relationship of the prophetic books to the rest of the canon, and then focus on specific issues, themes and theologies in the books. The roles of ancient prophets as socio-political exegetes would be used to segue into discussions of the roles of preachers today.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the thirteen letters in the New Testament, from Romans to Philemon. Because these documents are pastoral letters, written to address specific problems, queries, and situations in the life of individuals and churches, we will pay attention to historical, cultural, social, and religious influences of the first century milieu. As much as we are able, we would like to hear these letters as though we were among the original recipients. Toward the end of the semester, we will identify key Pauline themes and emphases that emerge from these missives collectively.
