This course offers basic introduction to the biographies, letters, and apocalyptic revelations that comprise the New Testament and the ways that scholars of religious studies, classical studies, and ancient history study them. One semester does not provide enough time to read all the texts of the New Testament in their entirety. Instead, we will focus on selected texts and portions of texts to provide a general introduction to the study of the New Testament.
