This beginning course for study of the New Testament books in the Scriptural Foundations certificate program provides a general overview of the history, geography, and literature of the books of the New Testament. St. David’s Scriptural Foundations is a two-year certificate program that provides an in-depth exploration of the Old and New Testaments, considering their historical contexts, literary characteristics, and relevance for today.
In February, Brent Landau, lecturer in religious studies at the University of Texas at Austin, will teach on the four gospels of the New Testament and their presentation of the life of Jesus.
