REL 203 EL | 3 credits

The New Testament course is an overview of the New Testament intended to acquaint the student with its background, content, and messages. The New Testament is read with a focus on the life of Jesus, his teaching and miracles, death and resurrection. The other major people of New Testament are also studied through their writings, especially the apostles Paul, Peter, and John. This introductory course forms a pair with REL 201 Old Testament for Bible content, and thus may not be counted as the elective third theology course in the core curriculum. 3 credits. (Special Note: Students should have access to a Study Bible while taking this course. This Dual Credit course is designed for students planning to enter church-work ministry including Pre-Seminary; Lutheran Education; Director of Christian Education, etc.)
