The New Testament is the ‘good news’ of the life, death, resurrection and atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ; the birth and early growth of the Christian Church; and the development of the Christian faith. This course examines the writings and content of the New Testament, as well as the historical and cultural context in which the New Testament was written, and how it has come down to us today.
