Module content
In this module we will provide the students with the historical background and the theological themes in the evangelist, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. We will look at the literary context and through practice during the lessons and through assignments students will develop skills in studying the literary context of a passage. Because we look at the evangelist we will pay attention to how to read and explain the meaning of a parable and a narrative. Students will also look at how the NT will use the OT text. The last lessons will cover how to apply the Bible in daily life now and how to make sure this will reflect God’s Word.
