BIB 630 - New Testament: Gospels and Acts (3 )

GR

The first four books of the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are commonly known as “the Gospels.” These books explain the life and ministry of Jesus, and are the basis for most of the distinctive doctrines of Christianity. The book of Acts orients students to the ministries of Jesus’ earliest witnesses, the Apostles. Setting their work in historical context, this course also examines the theological and missiological challenges of forming a new social body comprised of Jews and Gentiles together, who worship Jesus the Messiah and bear witness to his rule over all nations.
