In this course, students will study Paul’s Prison Epistles by applying the hermeneutical and exegetical skills learned in BIBL 5033 and the Greek language skills learned in GREE 6013. In addition to studying the contents, contexts, and interpretive issues involved in the study of these epistles, these letters’ contribution to Christology and a life of integrity in the face of adversity will be emphasized. This course will provide students with the foundation for preaching, teaching, and further research in the Prison Epistles and other New Testament epistles.
