The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the basic principles and practices of New Testament exegesis. Special attention will be given to the use of lexica, concordances, grammars, theological and exegetical dictionaries, and other exegetical aides. Through the written assignments and exegetical papers the students will be exposed to how exegetical decisions are made, some of the underlying hermeneutical issues involved, and how to move from exegesis of the text to our appropriation of it in life and ministry.

Special attention will be given to those aspects of the text which are more difficult for the modern reader to understand and the hermeneutical challenges for communicating the message of these texts to others.

Challenges to the Christian faith are grounded in alternative worldviews: frameworks for beliefs about what is right, real and true. These worldviews provide answers to fundamental questions about God's existence and nature, human identity and purpose, and the meaning and obligations of life. Such challenges call Christians to develop a clearer understanding of their own conception of reality and to consider major available options in order to articulate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of a biblically grounded world-and-life view.
This course will explore the nature and function of worldviews and contrast the Christian worldview with several significant alternatives offering challenges to the Christian Gospel. We will examine the variety of orientations Christians take toward culture as well as the influences of the modern and postmodern worldviews on the theological task.
