NT003 - New Testament Overview

This is a one-semester overview of the New Testament. It looks at the four gospels and the portraits that they paint of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus—with a focus on how Jesus inaugurated the Kingdom of God in word and deed. The unit also tells the story of the early New Testament Church as reflected in the book of Acts, as well as selected epistles and the book of Revelation. 

This unit is ideal for those taking a shorter course (i.e. the equivalent of one or two full-time semester) in combination with OT003 (Old Testament Overview). It is not well-suited to two- or three-year courses; students in such courses who wish to take this unit are required to discuss with their course adviser prior to enrolment.
