Normally Luke, Acts or 1 Corinthians will be
studied. Introductory questions such as
sources, genre, readers and theme(s) are discussed. The emphasis of the unit is on matters of
historical and theological interest and difficulty. Comparison is made with related texts inside
and outside the canon of the NT. The unit
deals with the original purpose(s) of the book and its relevance for
today. Throughout the unit the Greek
text is used and relevant passages are translated and analysed. Class tests may be used in preparation for
the exam.
