NT 143 Course at a Glance
New Testament Theology for Application
Lecturing Faculty: Brandon Crowe
Effective for the 2023-2024 Academic Year
Course Description
This course is designed to fill out your knowledge of the content of the New Testament and to give you the opportunity to move from Biblical content to ministerial contexts to apply passages to yourself and others. These objectives reinforce and enhance one another; you have not understood the Bible if you have not applied it, and you cannot apply the Bible unless you understand its message and theology. Doing both at once is difficult, but the goal is to direct all learning in Bible content to exhortation. As we discuss theological and exegetical content, be intentionally thinking, "how is this useful?" As we address ministerial problems and counseling situations, be intentionally thinking "what texts might address this and why?" As the class progresses, we will come to appreciate the inseparable link between the two.
