An institutionally mandated subject, Reading and Interpreting the Christian Scripture is an introductory study of the New Testament. While the historical context, social condition, political situation, cultural environment and literary character of these books will be examined, the main goal of this study is to allow students to encounter and engage the primary materials themselves. As core and essential materials for Christian faith and practice, these books will be studied closely by way of reading the texts themselves, and through a thoughtful dialogue and critical exchange of ideas between the teacher and the learners. It is hoped that through this course, students will come to appreciate themes from the New Testament as consequential to contemporary life.
