We cover the New Testament in a general overview.
Within that framework, we focus on:
1) The people. The New Testament is filled with all sorts of memorable characters; seeing how God moves within their stories drives the narrative.
2) The history. The history of the Church is filled with many stages; it is vital to understand the journeys of Jesus within the Gospels; of Peter, Paul, and the others in Acts; and the spread of the epistles throughout the world in the rest.
3) The covenants. We will see how the covenants made with God and Adam, Noah, Abraham, David and so on form the legal structure that allows us to understand more of who God is and sets the scene for the New Testament (and the New Heavens and New Earth!).
It is recommended to take the "Old Testament" course before taking this.
