The Birth of the Church

3 credits

The main emphasis will be on a study of the later New Testament writings: those which show the first signs of the church defining itself as an institution. These writings include especially Luke-Acts, the later pseudo-Pauline letters (1 and 2 Timothy, Titus), the so-called "general epistles," and the Apocalypse (Revelation). ***Prerequisites: Completion of 24 credit hours or a 200 level RLST course.***
