Objectives The mission of the New Testament department is to help students gain a deeper appreciation of the NT by developing skills in the areas of Greek language, exegesis, the historical-cultural setting of the NT, and biblical theology. The intended outcome is for students to better understand God’s written word in order to apply it to the development of a distinctly Christian worldview that they would live out in daily life and their ministries. Preparation for Study Students are strongly advised to take beginning Greek prior to starting coursework at Talbot (either in Summer Session at Talbot or in undergraduate work), so that the student can immediately begin work with the Greek text of the New Testament. A qualifying examination in Greek is available to all students with previous Greek training. Those with a grade of “C” or higher on the examination will be enrolled in TTNT 503 and the rest in TTNT 501. Those who take beginning Greek at Talbot will have 4 credits fewer elective options. Competency Requirement Students must pass TTNT 501 and TTNT 502 with a “C-” or better to progress to NT 503. Students must pass TTNT 503 with a “C-” or better to progress to other courses for which TTNT 503 is a prerequisite or receive approval from the department chair.
