New Testament
 Gospels and Acts (4 hours) J. Knox Chamblin, Th.D.

An analysis of the writer, the document, and the original audience will precede present-day applications. The informative, affective, and directive elements of gospel narratives will be explored according to their intellectual, emotional, and volitional effect upon the reader.

An introductory study concentrating on basic vocabulary and analysis of the grammar of New Testament Greek.
Greek II (3 hours) Robert J. Cara, Ph.D.
This course continues the study of grammar, builds vocabulary, and develops techniques for the exposition of the Greek text. Principles of interpretation are applied to the study of the New Testament.
Pauline Epistles (4 hours) J. Knox Chamblin, Th.D.
An exposition of the epistles in chronological order that emphasizes the application of Paul's theology to the pastoral needs of the churches in his and our time.
Hebrews through Revelation (3 hours) Simon Kistemaker, Th.D.
A study of the content, theology, pastoral thrust, and critical issues surrounding the last nine books of the New Testament. The question as to how united and how diverse the Church and Christian theology were in the first century will be addressed. In addition, certain documents will be evaluated as to their right to hold canonical status alongside the Gospels and Pauline Epistles.
