of the first century church as it advanced geographically from Jerusalem to
Rome and ethnically beginning with the Jews and gradually including the
gentiles. The course will involve a survey of apostolic history, a discussion
of the history and message of the book of Acts, consideration of the life,
mission, and message of Apostle Paul, and evaluation of the individual letters
in their relationship to apostolic history and the life of the church. It will
also survey the historical setting, structure, contents, and message emphases
of the epistles, and attention is given to matters of current application.
