Description
This course will explore the gospels as resources for preaching and ministry. By exploring theological themes that cut across more than one gospel, such as the Kingdom of God in the teaching of Jesus, students will gain a sense of how different gospels may speak to different situations. The course will have two goals: (a) to bring students up to date with current research on the gospels, and (b) to probe analogies between the situations of the ancient texts and the situations of modern-day churches so as to enable a pastor more effectively to bring the text to bear on current questions.
