This course is a study of the theology of the New Testament in its own historical setting, categories, and thought forms and on its own terms. The course describes what the New Testament's major authors (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul) said about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church, the last times, etc. Special attention is given to methodology and the inductive investigation by the student of theological themes. Meets the General Studies core requirement in God's Word and the Christian Response. Prerequisite: completion of a 300-level New Testament course or instructor's permission
