Seeking to let the Bible itself set the agenda, Biblical Theology examines the major subject pillars that structure the biblical story and message. The course will examine the major doctrines as they unfold from OT to NT. The course will investigate these major subjects:
Old Testament: Creation and Fall; Abraham: Election and Purpose; Exodus: Redemption and Covenant; David: Eternal Kingship; Prophets: The Demand for Covenant Living; Gospel: Hope Beyond Judgment; Psalms and Wisdom: Worship and Wisdom for Life
New Testament: Jesus: Fulfillment of OT Hopes; The Kingdom of God; The Cross and Resurrection; God’s Grace of Salvation; The Church: People of the New Covenant; Ministry of the Holy Spirit; Completion: Hope for the Future
Old Testament II includes a study of the Wisdom Books, Psalms, and Major and Minor Prophets (Job – Malachi).
This course is the second in a sequence which orients the student to the study of the Greek New Testament. Greek II is a continuation of Greek I, with an emphasis on translation of selected passages from the Greek New Testament. The course also serves as a foundation for exegetical study of the Greek New Testament. The prerequisite to this course is 2L2311 Biblical Greek I.

The goal of this course is to assist students in integrating the various components of their seminary studies for addressing relevant issues in ministry.

While it may be easy to find God when life goes well, where is God when life falls apart? The Book of Job focuses upon a man whose world crashed down on him. Through this book study, students will learn of an individual who held on to God and his integrity despite his circumstances. Students will also learn of others’ reactions to suffering and the varied responses they gave. Above all, students will learn how to follow God regardless of what life gives them.
