Lecturer: Darrell Bock
Course Description
An examination of the Gospel of Luke with concentration on its message and preparation of narrative material for preaching and teaching. Three hours.
Course Objectives
As a result of the course, the student should be able to:
- Interpret a piece of narrative material and isolate the key theological themes it teaches.
- Trace the argument of a Gospel through its units.
- Be prepared to communicate the message of a passage that is accurate with regard to the text and relevant to a contemporary audience.
Course Structure
The course will work through the argument of Luke at one chapter per lecture. Each lecture contains an overview of the chapter before proceeding through the presentation of the text. For the most part, issues of method are not covered.
The course can be used on either a Greek or non-Greek track.
