Course Description

New Testament Foundations 2 (NT102) is the sequel to NT101 and both are foundational to the study of the New Testament at BGST. NT102 covers the Epistles and Revelation.

This course is a general survey of the message of the NT books, their relationships to each other, introductory issues (author, date, occasion, content, etc), and factors in the first century, e.g., history and religions, that influenced the life and ministry of the early church.
