Platinum [Windows or Macintosh computer software]. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2014. Golden Gate Seminary requires that MDiv, Greek and Hebrew students have at least the Logos Biblical Languages Library base package. However, the Platinum base package will save you considerable money in the long run. Platinum includes several good commentary sets and other reference books that will greatly help your seminary research papers and future Bible study. If you cannot afford Platinum, buy at least the Silver edition, which includes a basic set of modern Bible commentaries. Logos provides free apps to access your books on an ipad, Android or Windows tablet/phone. Golden Gate Seminary students can

purchase one Logos collection at a 50% discount and pay over time (see http://www.balboa-software.com/logos/info.html). New Testament Introduction II Page 4 The modern way to do biblical research is with Bible software. Anyone who studies or teaches the Bible can save time and money with Logos Bible software. Although you can do the research paper for this course without Logos, it will require considerably more time and more trips to a good theological library. Logos will also help you prepare future Bible studies, sermons and seminary assignments. Training in Using Logos Bible Software Hahne, Harry A.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS: 1. Reading a. 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.

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 http://www.balboa-software.com/nt2/recordings.html. 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 9-15. 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 5:12-21. 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

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 email, 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 emailed to the professor.

New Testament Introduction II Page 12 7. 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 emailed 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. GRADING: Possible Points for Assignments Reading 10% Participation, reflection questions 20% Research Paper 35% Final examination 35% Grading Scale A B C D F Outstanding Good Needs improvement Below expectations Failing work

New Testament Introduction II Page 13 EXPECTATIONS FOR WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS 1. Electronic submission is required Each assignment must be submitted as a single computer file. The preferred file format is PDF, but assignments will be accepted as Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect documents. Any Greek or Hebrew fonts must be embedded in the document. The file name must begin with your full name (last name first) followed by the assignment name from the syllabus. For example: Smith_John - Reflection 1.pdf Smith_John - Research Paper.pdf Smith_John - Final Exam.pdf Your assignment must be sent as an email attachment to the following email address: upload.nt2.7ja6wcjmyh@u.box.com You will receive a confirmation email if your document was successfully received. Sending a document this way uploads the file to a cloud storage location on the Internet, where the professor can view all papers. Do not include any message in the email, since only the document is sent to the professor, not the email. Do not email assignments to the professor s personal email address. Keep a copy of all assignments (photocopy or computer file copy). 2. Format and Writing Style Each paper must have a title page with the title of the paper, the name of the course, the name of the professor, the date of submission, your name and your campus mailbox number. Papers must be typed in 12 point Times Roman typeface, double spaced, with 1 inch margins. Written work should follow the style described in Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations. Brief guides for formatting your paper in Turabian style are provided on the Golden Gate Library website (http://library.ggbts.edu/refwebpages/turabian%20page.htm). Dr. Watson s guides are particularly useful. Your writing must be free of spelling and punctuation errors and adhere to the basic rules of English grammar. Write in a clear, straight-forward style appropriate to academic

New Testament Introduction II Page 14 prose (cf. Shrunk and White, Elements of Style). Writing should be well organized and present a clear and coherent argument. Written assignments with deficiencies in style will receive a lower grade. 3. Documentation of Sources All sources must be cited in bibliographic footnotes in Turabian style. You can use computer software, such as Library Master (http://www.balboa-software.com/lmw.html), to automatically format the citations. Any sentences or phrases taken from any source must be placed in quotation marks and the source must be cited. The source of any ideas that are not your own must also be cited in a footnote, even if you rephrase the concept in your own words. Include a bibliography in Turabian style listing all sources cited. 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.
