BIBL 5163 - Jesus and Discipleship

3 credits

This course examines the person, teaching, and work of Jesus in light of the entire biblical story. It explains the nature and practice of Christian discipleship in the context of the New Covenant, which brings the divine grace, promises, and demands of previous covenants to their fullest expression. It considers the substance and scope of the “Good News” which lies at the heart of New Testament proclamation about Jesus. In these ways, the course offers an expansive view of Jesus as the central and defining figure of Christian faith, life, ministry, and mission. (Same as THEO 5163)
