This course examines the books of the New Testament.  Students study the historical and cultural significance surrounding the life of Christ and the beginning of the Christian church. Through analysis, students will see how the work and teaching of Jesus impacted the first century and modern Christianity. Students will also study the doctrines found in the New Testament and how those truths can change lives in today’s culture. They compare and contrast our culture's views with what scripture says about the nature of reality, how to endure in trying times, and how to develop and maintain healthy relationships.
