THEO 1421 Inscribing the Word: The New Testament
The New Testament has been an influential and often fundamental source for many modern, Western views of God, nature, human beings, a just society, and the origin and destiny of humanity and the world. An intelligent, serious reading of the New Testament raises most of the enduring questions that have traditionally stood at the center of philosophical and theological debate. Thus, a thorough analysis of texts from the New Testament in terms of the central concerns of the core curriculum will be the primary goal of THEO 1421 Inscribing the Word: The New Testament. Satisfies Core requirement for: Theology (Sacred Texts and Traditions)
