Semester Expectations:
All students will be expected to learn the books of the New Testament in order, spelled correctly.
Daily reading assignments and weekly quizzes can be expected. All lectures will anticipate student participation via listening, note taking, and/or discussion.
Our course strategy is to read the Bible text itself instead of spending a lot of time reading other writings about the Bible. Archaeological, geographical, and historical information will be gleaned from "A Visual Guide To Bible Events."
If a student misses a test, make-up will be allowed if the absence is excused. Unexcused absences may result in a zero for that test or quiz. Make-up for other assignments will be due within the week following the absence.
Our main goal is for all students to become familiar with the New Testament text, to track the events chronologically, and to have a basic awareness of the physical geography, political landscape, and world historical events surrounding the events of the New Testament.
Fourth Six Weeks:
We will begin by looking at the historical world events between the Old and New Testaments that set the stage for the ministry of Jesus and his apostles.
Next, we will study the life of Christ in the Gospels through a chronological approach. This will involve a look at the birth and early years of Christ, followed by his public ministry, then his final week- as detailed in the Gospels.
The fourth six weeks test will be cumulative.
Fifth Six Weeks
Once we complete the public ministry of Christ and his disciples, we will look at the last week of Christ’s life then the events of the next 40 days. This will be followed by a study of the book of Acts. We will trace the history of the early Church and journeys of Paul, stopping along the way to examine the Pauline letters in their historical settings.
The second six weeks test will cover all of the material studied during the second six weeks.
Sixth Six Weeks
We will complete Paul’s journeys and letters, then look at the General Epistles, the book of Hebrews, plus the letters written by Peter, James, John, and Jude.
We will complete the semester with a look at the historical background of the late first century and survey the book of Revelation.
The final exam, required for all dual credit students, will be cumulative for the semester and cover the inter-testamental period through the book of Revelation.
REMINDER: One requirement for this course is that every student should memorize the names of the books of the New Testament in the order and with correct spelling.
