The New Testament not only tells the story of Jesus and of the Early Church – it lays the theological foundations for our entire Christian faith. This class will consider the primary theological themes and issues of the New Testament (what it means), with a special emphasis on how these great truths are reflected in a mature Christian faith and life.
