BI-10303 is an in-depth study of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels and the broader New Testament writings. The course examines the life, teachings, miracles, parables, and mission of Jesus, focusing on both the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) and John’s Gospel. Students will also explore the theological significance of Jesus’ pre-incarnate role, post-resurrection appearances, and eschatological mission as presented in Acts, the Apostolic Epistles, and Revelation.
Special emphasis is placed on understanding Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, His role as the Savior, and His continuing presence and influence in the early church and today.
