New Testament Survey
A bare-bones overview
of the New Testament
The
purpose of this class is to give you a comprehensive framework on which
to hang your studies of the Bible. This is a bare-bones skeleton
which you can then flesh out during your lifetime of study of God's Word in the New Testament.
When used in conjunction with the Old
Testament Survey class, you will have a complete framework for study
of the entire Bible.

Maintaining
Active Status: This
course requires no section tests nor does it require any other
communication with us while student is taking this
course. Therefore, because of the lack of any
communication, student needs to verify their active status
every 30 days by submitting an
Active Status Verification
form. If student is taking other courses that do require
regular communication with the college, then submission of the
Active Status Verification form every 30 days for this NT
Survey is not necessary because the communication supplied by
the other courses automatically maintains the student's active
status.
