New
Testament Survey
A bare-bones overview of the New Testament
This is a First
Level course.
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.

scriptures in the textbook are only there to make sure you look up
every scripture referenced in the textbook.

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.
