Pauline Letters

Students will develop an understanding of significant historical, geographical, social, cultural and religious factors for the interpretation of Pauline letters, and become familiar with the social setting, literary structure, key theological ideas, and purpose of the letters. Students will engage in close exegetical study of one or more Pauline letters. This unit allows students to apply their knowledge of NT Greek to interpreting letters of Paul. In the process they will acquire necessary exegetical skills for interpreting biblical texts.
