Prerequisites: Greek or Language Tools, Hermeneutics, New Testament Overview
Hermeneutics Credit Hours: 3
The Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) undertakes an in-depth exegetical study of these three Gospels, with sustained attention to the Greek text. Students will engage in comparative analysis of parallel accounts and conduct detailed exegesis of key pericopes to discern the distinct theological message and literary artistry of each evangelist. Emphasis will be placed on understanding Jesus as the Messiah and the fulfillment of Old Covenant promises as presented by the Synoptic writers, and on applying these gospel narratives to contemporary Christian life and ministry.
