Coming this Fall – New Testament Survey
This Fall (beginning in October) I will be offering a New Testament Survey class. This class will meet monthly, probably on the first week of the month.
The class will give a basic introduction to the books of the New Testament with special emphasis on the life, teachings, and redemptive work of Jesus Christ as it is presented in the four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. (The plan, Lord willing, is to complete the course next year with a survey of Acts, the letters and Revelation).
The objectives of the course are:
- To become familiar with the basic background and content of the New Testament.
- To know the themes, emphases and unique features of each of the Gospels.
- To grow in love for God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, through His Word.
The tentative course outline looks like this:
- October: Basics, Background and Canon
- November: How the New Testament Got to Us
- December: Thy Kingdom Come!
- January: Four angles – One Story! (Introduction to the Four Gospels)
- February: Digging Deep in Mark’s Gospel
- March: Digging Deep in Matthew’s Gospel
- April: Digging Deep in Luke’s Gospel
- May: Digging Deep in John’s Gospel
Note: In addition to this course our Adult Education schedule will be filled out by occasional classes on Spiritual Disciplines (Prayer, Bible reading and meditation, etc.) tentatively titled Spiritual Disciplines for Real People.
I Need Your Help!
I would like to schedule the New Testament Survey course on a night that will be convenient for as many people as possible. Would this course work best on a Sunday evening or on a weeknight? Could you help me out by clicking on the link and answering the survey? It’s only one question! Thanks!
