...

Introduction to the New Testament

Exposure to the Holy Bible and especially the New Testament, and especially to Jesus of Nazareth, his Father and his Holy Spirit upon him, his good news, his church, and their mission in its writings and beyond, for improved relationship with the Bible in faith, learning, life, and service in the Kingdom of God.

...

Theology for Discipleship

Pursuing the knowledge of God, as Christians understand it to be revealed through lives of learning from, knowing, remaining in, obeying, and sharing the Father in the Son through the Holy Spirit within their inclusive and expanding fellowship of saints. To learn theology that apprehends the Triune God in spirit and truth, we must be apprentices, above all apprentices of Jesus, for "as the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you" (John 20:21 ESV), and "everyone when fully trained will be like his teacher" (Luke 6:40).
