Marion L. Soards This course is a focused study on prominent passages in The Book of Acts, namely of selected sermons and speeches (hereafter, simply referred to as speeches) by Peter, Stephen, Paul, and others. The method of study is comparative and exegetical. After a general reflection upon the whole of The Book of Acts -author, literary scheme, sources, and theological concerns-the meaning of the speeches in Acts as a whole will be considered. The art of historiography in the Greco-Roman world will then be examined, especially the phenomenon of speeches in Greco-Roman histories. Next, several of the prominent speeches in Acts and the contributions of modern critical scholarship to the study of the speeches will be considered. A careful analysis of the Acts speeches will follow, comparing them with similar materials in other Greco-Roman works of historiography. Prerequisites: The Elements of New Testament Greek or its equivalent and Basic New Testament Exegesis.

Students will study a theme or themes of their choice and then, they will present their findings in a classroom presentation and a major paper.

The aim of the course is to give substance to theological topics through creative exploration of New Testament texts. Thus, through exegetical examination of a number of texts from the perspectives of selected themes, students will consider the theological significance of the unity and diversity of the New Testament testimony.
