Apocalyptic Literature

This course is a survey of Second Temple and first century apocalyptic literature: its emergence as a literary genre, the gradual development of the genre, how each apocalypse may have affected other apocalypses, and the result the genre had on the believing community. Students should understand how the apocalyptic genre affects our present canonical reading of the Biblical text and the way apocalyptic texts should be handled so that their original literary purposes are maintained and not abandoned.

Old Testament Use in the New Testament

This course is a hermeneutical examination of how New Testament writers treated the Old Testament texts. Students will give attention to the New Testament writers’ methodologies for using the OT, observe key issues surrounding passages that make use of the OT, and become aware of how the writer’s use of OT in the New affects theological themes as they develop throughout the Biblical narrative.
