This course provides an overview of the New Testament within its historical and cultural contexts, then explores the effects it has had on Western ideals and worldviews; its influence on Western law, politics, and government; and its impact on language, culture, and the arts.
In New Testament Survey, students learn about the powerful influence that God’s Word has had throughout history—and are challenged to use the New Testament to further engage and transform their culture.
