SESSION A: NEW TESTAMENT SURVEY

Bible study—with an emphasis on careful teaching (2 Timothy 2:15)—constitutes nearly 40% of the AIM course. This survey course introduces the student to the world of the New Testament, from the historical and geographical background to the culture of the first century to the formation of the New Testament itself. Units: Synoptic Gospels, John, Acts, the Letters of Paul, the General Epistles, Revelation, and N.T. chronology. In addition to studying a conservative N.T. textbook, the student will read the entire N.T. He will also learn how to deploy 100 useful N.T. Passages. The goal: to comprehend the “big picture” of the NT and its world.

SESSION B: NEW TESTAMENT INTERPRETATION

What many of us were never taught… Exegesis and hermeneutics—interpreting what a N.T. passage meant to those to whom it was written, and making a proper application to our situation today—are vital areas of theological training. There are units on exegesis of the Synoptic Gospels, Parables, Acts, Epistles, Revelation, and more. 20 useful passages and several books will be studied, including Gordon Fee’s How to Read the Bible For All Its Worth. The goal: to overhaul how the scriptures are explored (respecting context) and learning how to read the NT genre by genre.
