Course Description

The objective of this course is to provide an overview of Biblical Theology as the organizing structure for understanding and valuing the unity and diversity of Scripture as God’s revelation of Himself to us. Attention is given to Scripture as God’s Word as it is mediated through the various writers of the Old and New Testaments in various genres, times, and locations while contributing to the unified redemptive plot that unfolds throughout history and climaxes in the person and work of Jesus Christ and the Gospel.
