(from the catalog) A reading survey of Acts, the letters, and Revelation against their backgrounds with attention to the theme, outline, and major doctrines of each book. Applications are made of beginning Bible study methods
(from the instructor) Starting with the letter to the Romans, contra above, we will work our way through the letters of Paul, the letters to the larger Christian communities in the ancient near east, on through the apocalyptic vision of Revelation. We will discuss the text as a work of literature itself : authorship, composition style, language, and editorial elements. Our primary goal, however, should always be seeking out the content of the text: what the text teaches us about God, about Christ, and how to live as the church in the world.
