BI-102 New Testament Survey

Walk through the whole New Testament, from the world of Jesus to the church after the apostles, and see how it completes the story the Old Testament began.

This course follows the WWES textbook New Testament Survey and the Bible itself. It starts with the setting of Jesus' life and the four Gospels, then moves through Acts, Paul's letters, the General Epistles and Revelation, and ends with the first centuries of the church. You also read Acts 15 closely, to see what the early church asked, how it decided and why.
