Romans I: Chapters 1-4
Course Features:
The focus of this course is to enhance New Testament exegetical skills through focusing our study on the first four chapters of Romans. The course of the study will include translation of the Greek text, discussion of the exegetical and syntactical issues in the text, in addition to understanding the main theological themes through the book of Romans. An important aspect of this class is to follow Paul’s line of thought through the epistle with a goal to understand the flow of his argument, in conversation with secondary literature from different theological backgrounds. An important aspect that will be covered throughout the course and through the readings is what is called the New Perspective of Paul.
