Textbooks and Other Required Readings The required readings are listed in the class schedule. Readings should be completed in preparation for each class, so you will get the most out of lectures and be able to participate fully in the discussions. b. New Testament Read Acts through Revelation in two different Bible modern translations from the following list: NASB, ESV, NIV, TNIV, HCSB, RSV, NRSV, NET Bible. Paraphrases (e.g. Living Bible, The Message) are not acceptable. You must read this portion of the New Testament twice during the term, even if you have read it before. c. Reading Log Keep a reading log listing the date on which you completed each reading assignment. Turn in this reading log on the last day of class. To receive full credit, each section must be read by the date specified in the class schedule. Late reading logs will lose 50% credit. Logs will not be accepted more than one week late. 2. Recorded Lectures Since the class schedule provides less than the normal meeting time for a 3 unit class, students are expected to listen to recorded video lectures in advance of certain classes.

10 New Testament Introduction II Page 10 Some lectures will include a review question, which you should be prepared to discuss in the following class. If you have any questions after listening to the recorded lecture, you may ask them in the following class. The lectures are available on the course website at 3. Class Participation All students are expected to make meaningful contributions to class discussions. During part of many classes, there will be discussions in small groups or the whole class about topics raised by the reading and the lectures. You should complete the reading assignments on time so you are prepared to participate in the discussions. Students who miss more than one class will fail the course. Special arrangements for make up work will only be considered for extraordinary medical circumstances. 4. Reflection Questions The reflection questions are designed to deepen your understanding of the assigned reading, to help you prepare for class discussion, and to show the professor how you are processing the reading. Write a 2 page answer to each reflection question. Note: Do not read the class handouts in advance of class, since some handouts for future classes include information about these topics. 1. Make a chart comparing Galatians 1-2 and Acts 9-15 on the activities of Paul in his various visits to Jerusalem. In 1 column list the activities of Paul described in Acts In another column, list the activities of Paul in Galatians 1-2. Arrange the chart so corresponding events align between Galatians and Acts. Write a page describing how you reconcile the chronology of these two books and reasons why you believe particular Jerusalem visits correspond between Galatians and Acts. 2. Make a comparison chart of the similarities and differences between Adam and Christ based on Rom 5: Do Paul s theological points depend on Adam and the Fall being historical? 3. What is Paul s understanding of the relationship of the Law to the Christian life? Is the whole Law binding on the Christian, part or none? How do we determine what parts of the Law continue to express God s will for Christians? 4. Compare and contrast the theology of Rom 4:1-22 and James 2:14-25 on the relationship between faith, works and justification. Some suggested issues to explore include: a) How does each author use faith, works, justify? b) Is there real difference in theology? c) What interests and views are the same (unity) and different (diversity)? d) How do they use the same Old Testament passage

11 New Testament Introduction II Page 11 differently? (NOTE: NIV translates the Greek ergōn sometimes as works and sometimes as deeds. ) Due dates are listed on the schedule. Since reflection questions are part of your class participation grade, they must be turned in at the beginning of class. They will not be accepted by , unless you have a pre-approved reason for absence from class. In this case, they must be sent to the professor no later than the start of class. Late responses to reflection questions will not be accepted. 5. Research Paper Write a detailed exegesis of one of the following biblical passages: Romans 5:1-11 Hebrews 6:1-12 Acts 17:16-34 Explain the significant interpretive issues in the passage and the theological and ethical teachings of the passage. For controversial issues, summarize alternative views and give reasons you believe your interpretation is correct. The justifications of your interpretations should be based on details you observe in the passage, the meaning of Greek words, grammar, structure, context, literary type, and cultural/historical background. Include a 1 page discussion of the contemporary relevance and application of the teachings of the passage. Your paper should stress the results of your personal inductive study of the biblical text. Do not simply repeat the opinions of commentaries or class notes. Your paper should interact critically with at least 3 major modern exegetical commentaries, as well as journal articles on the passage from at least the last 10 years. You should also make use of high quality, modern Bible study reference books, such as Greek lexicons, word study books, Bible dictionaries/encyclopedias, books of biblical culture, and biblical theology books. You should have no fewer than 10 modern research sources, not including Bibles and concordances. The paper should be 8-10 pages, typed in 12 point type, double spaced, with footnotes and bibliography in Turabian style. Excessively long papers will be returned ungraded. 6. Final examination The final examination will be a take home exam that will be handed out on the last day of class. It will be comprehensive and will consist of essay questions based on the lectures, class discussions and reading assignments. The completed exam should be ed to the professor.

12 New Testament Introduction II Page Course Assessment GGBTS engages in regular assessment of its academic programs. Student participation is essential to this process through the following three activities. a. eportfolio Reflections Golden Gate Seminary requires that all degree-seeking students reflect on the work completed as part of this course and the manner in which the course contributed to their growth in relation to five Essential Leadership Characteristics selected by the student and referenced in the syllabus under Course Learning Outcomes. These reflections must be recorded in the student's eportfolio and a copy must be ed to the professor no later than the last scheduled meeting of the class. No student will be allowed to pass this course without turning this in. b. Course Evaluation Each semester, a link to a CoursEval survey for each course taken will appear in the student's MyGGBTS page. Students are required to complete this online evaluation of the course and instructor no later than the last scheduled meeting of the class. A summary of results (without student ID) is released to the professor only after grades have been submitted for the course.

In all work, you are expected to respect intellectual property, and behave with utmost honesty and integrity. Plagiarism will not be tolerated in any form and will result in a failing grade on the assignment. 4. Late Assignments All written assignments are due at the beginning of class on the specified due date. Late responses to reflection questions will not be accepted. The grade for late research papers will be reduced 10% per week late. Reading log credit will be reduced 20% per day late and will not be accepted more than one week late. Extensions will be considered only in extreme cases such as a death in the family, the hospitalization of yourself or a member of your immediate family, or a prolonged illness for which you require treatment by a physician. Extensions will not be granted due to the demands of ministry, work or other courses. If you feel you have a legitimate reason for a late paper, attach an explanation in writing to the paper. Do not explain your reasons at the beginning of class, by phone or by voice mail. SEMINARY POLICY ON ACADEMIC CREDIT AND WORKLOAD EXPECTATIONS For each hour of academic credit granted for a GGBTS face-to-face, hybrid or online course, the Seminary assigns a workload of approximately 45 clock hours of academic learning activities per academic credit hour earned. Traditional in-class format normally apportions 15 hours of in-class instruction and 30 hours of instructional exercises to be completed outside of class meetings per credit hour granted. For androgogical reasons, individual courses may adjust the ratio of assignments inside and outside class meetings. This is an average workload and the amount of time required to complete assignments may vary from student to student.
