DR502F: NEW TESTAMENT THEOLOGY (2015-2016)

Last modified: 25 Mar 2016 11:37


Course Overview

The New Testament includes 27 different works, by a number of different authors, produced over a significant time-span (less than a century). To what extent are these disparate or complementary voices? This course firstly introduces the academic discipline of New Testament Theology – its history, tasks, methods and problems – and then explores a number of New Testament texts, addressing questions of similarity, difference and development within their theology/ies. This will include particular study of one or more key theological themes (e.g. christology, pneumatology, eschatology, soteriology), by means of close study of selected New Testament texts.
