NT 111 Course at a Glance

New Testament Introduction

Lectures By: Dr. Brandon Crowe

Effective for the Academic Year: 2024-2025


Course Description

To be a minister of the gospel requires the study, exposition, and application of the Word of God. Because of this, identifying the "what" and the "why" of the Word of God—in this case the New Testament—is crucial. Further, every word that God has inspired matters, and we should seek diligently to attend to every nuance of the Scriptures. In this course we will address both these issues, addressing question such as: What is the NT? Why do we have these specific books? Where does the NT in our Bibles come from? How do we know what text to print? How do we handle questions about the proper wording of a text? Answering these questions will assist in forming a deep, solid foundation in your study and application of God’s Word.
