NT020 / NT021 - The General Epistles (English / Greek)

This unit provides an overview of the General Epistles, which include the letters attributed to James, Peter, John, and Jude. Unfortunately, these letters are often neglected by readers of the New Testament. However, they have much to teach us about the relationship of faith and works, the Christian response to persecution, the importance of the doctrine of the final judgement, or the danger of false teachings. After a brief overview of the collection as a whole, students will focus on the texts of 1 John and 1 Peter, looking at introductory issues about the authorship, date, audience, and purpose, as well as an exegetical analysis of the chapters in these two significant texts.
