The purpose of “Intro to New Testament” is to introduce students to the collection of writings that we come to call the New Testament. In this course students will become familiar with the historical context, culture, and the politics that lead to the production of this text. In addition to the traditional historical critical approach to the text, students will be introduced to other methods such as postmodern and postcolonial readings that will help us deconstruct these texts and reconstruct interpretations that are socially, ethically, and politically relevant to the world we live.
