LPL Module - Understanding the New Testament

Outline of LPL Module on Understanding the New Testament
The Intensive Study Weekend Module is intended to provide an introduction to:

• The context of the New Testament: the historical and the socio-religious background of the New Testament (the Context of the NT);
• The text of the new Testament; and
• The basic principles of interpreting the New Testament texts.

It is assumed that students are conversant with the content of all the New Testament books (and have read through the New Testament more than one time).
It is expected that students will study the three basic textbooks listed below, preferably before attending the course.
The passing of the module is based on doing a survey, course attendance and the submission of (a) certification of having read the course texts and (b) a paper of about 2,000 words.

Textbooks:

1. David Wenham and Steve Walton, Exploring the New Testament (Volume 1): The Gospel and Acts, 3rd Edition
2. Howard Marshall, Stephen Travis and Ian Paul, Exploring the New Testament (Volume 2): The Letters and Revelation, 3rd Edition
3. Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart,  How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth (only the Chapters on interpreting the NT, viz. 1,,2,3,4,6,7,8, & 13)
