Introduction to the New TestamentRGB1501HF L9101 SESSION: Fall 2021 INSTRUCTOR(S): Bernier, JonathanCOLLEGE: Regis College SCHEDULE: Mon TIME: 17:00 to 19:00 CREDITS: One Credit The focus of this course is on the various methodologies for reading and analyzing the New Testament rather than theology and spirituality. The sad events of our own world illustrate some of the dangers of superficial and overly literal readings of religious writings. Biblical literacy should not be the privilege or duty of a select few, but the right and responsibility of all Christians. The purpose of our study is to provide the tools necessary for an in-depth reading of the New Testament utilizing a variety of methodologies. No one methodology is definitive or exhaustive; each one examines the text from a different perspective and reveals another aspect or layer of the passage in question. Although the material might seem technical and esoteric at times, providing the people of God with a biblical message that is rich, life-giving, and based on a sound understanding of the text is an eminently pastoral undertaking.

From the Gospel to the Gospels (NT I)WYB1501HF L9101 SESSION: Fall 2021 INSTRUCTOR(S): Sider-Hamilton, CatherineCOLLEGE: Wycliffe College SCHEDULE: Thu TIME: 10:00 to 12:00 CREDITS: One Credit An introduction to the four Gospels in their social, historical and theological settings. Using a "socio-literary" approach, we will study the Gospels within a two-dimensional framework, both centred on what the early Christians called the "gospel" or "Kerygma." One dimension has to do with social history, the origin and development of Christianity as a distinct social entity, from its foundations in the ministry of Jesus and the Easter experience, through its emergence as a Jewish renewal movement, and on to its development into a separate, largely Gentile, institutionalized religion. The second dimension has to do with literature, the process by which the Gospels came to be written, their literary form and texture, and their character as narrative versions of the "gospel."
