This class provides an introduction to the New Testament, beginning with a comparison between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The four Gospels are examined in detail and viewed through the lens of providing a new law to fulfill the law given in the Old Testament. Finally, the other books of the New Testament are compared to the literature types found in the Old Testament: Acts of the Apostles (history), the Epistles (wisdom), and Revelation (prophecy).
