1 NT/OT 795: Biblical Seminar Syllabus Spring 2017 Professor: Rollin G. Grams Meeting Times: Module 4: 8:30 am 4:30 pm, only Saturdays: Feb. 11, Mar. 11, Apr. 8 Prerequisites: 600 level OT exegesis course and NT 502 Work for Course Begins: 17 January, 2017 Work for Course Ends: 17 April, 2017 (check Registrar s date for graduating seniors) Course Description This seminar focuses on the primary themes and fundamental issues shared by both Testaments. Students present papers for formal critique and discussion on relevant topics within the discipline of Biblical. Prerequisites: At least one 600-level NT exegesis course and, for students taking Hebrew, a 600-level OT exegesis course. Expanded Description This course examines the unity and diversity of Scripture through a series of mini-seminars. To do so, questions of method, proposals for unifying Scripture, and a variety of theological topics in the Bible are explored. The course also has the practical aims of helping students to develop a Biblically grounded theology for life and ministry and to prepare for ongoing reading and research in Biblical theology. Methodologically, the course will examine the appropriate use of Scripture for theological enquiry. Missional, covenantal, and narrative (over against systematic) approaches to Biblical theology will especially be examined. Thematically, the course focuses on the following themes in particular: the mission of God, covenant theology, Christology, Pneumatology, Kingdom, Gospel, Soteriology, and Ecclesiology. Logistically, the flipped classroom approach makes use of online (Sakai) lectures and student interaction so that class time on Saturdays can be conducted as seminars, focusing on discussion of the lectures and reading. (Because students are expected to listen to lectures before coming to class, the course does not meet on Friday nights.) Students will find guided questions for the seminar, the reading, forum posts, and papers on Sakai. Course Prerequisites and Relation to the Curriculum Pre-requisites: Since this is an advanced, capstone course in the curriculum, students will have already taken the two Bible Survey courses, Greek, Hebrew, both OT and NT interpretation courses, and at least one 600 level OT exegesis course. This course is a required part of the Master of Divinity and the Master of Arts degrees in Biblical Studies (Biblical Studies, Old Testament Studies, and New Testament Studies). Be aware that there is an English-based Biblical 1

2 course, OT/NT517, that is an alternative to this course for students in other degree programs (ones lacking the Biblical languages; both courses should not be taken as they overlap). The course relates to the mission of Gordon-Conwell to train people in a knowledge of the Bible and the correct use of Scripture. Graduates of the seminary are trained to think Biblically, and, since theological study and ministry practice should always proceed from a Biblical theology, this course carries the charge to prepare students accordingly. Course Outcomes The student completing this course of study will: *have acquired a greater knowledge of the Bible, including specific texts and, especially, its unity and diversity *be able to analyze, evaluate, and critique proposals for Biblical theology from an understanding of hermeneutical and methodological issues *be able to investigate Scripture theologically in the areas specified in the course description *be able to apply methods of Biblical theology applied to certain topics in the course to other Biblical topics *be able to explain several theological themes in Scripture and state how they are different or related at different times and in different authors *be able to identify and explain ways in which Biblical theology relates to the Christian life and to ministry Course Textbooks/Reading Students will read approximately 2,300 pages for this course from the following resources.

In light of the previous seminar s challenges about whether there is such a thing as a Biblical of. projects (e.g., leadership, counseling, finances, and so on), and in light of Wright s discussion of whether the Bible has a theology of mission or whether Biblical theology is, in fact, itself missional, discuss the pros and cons of reading the Bible as a missional corpus. 4

5 2. Does Wright define mission well as God s revealing His identity? What practical implications does this have for your ministry? 3. What are the key passages in Scripture that emerge through the lens of mission? Do they together offer a missional reading of Scripture? Does this reading de-emphasize other Biblical texts and theological emphases or is it the heuristic key that we need for exploring the unity all of Scripture? Can the Wisdom literature of the OT fit into this missional Biblical theology? At what point in salvation history would the people of God be able to understand this missional reading Scripture and, if only later, does this pose problems for a missional approach to Biblical theology? (Would any other approach fare any better?) 4. What stood out to you from the lectures and reading? How would these points have helped you in your earlier studies at the seminary and in ministry? 5.

Which Biblical passages are key to a discussion of God s self-revelation? 5. How do approaches discussed in this course so far challenge Dispensational theology, and what do you make of the differences? 6. What stood out to you as helpful from the readings and lectures?

What is Bauckham s suggestion for discussing divine identity and how does it relate/contrast to other approaches? How is early Christian Christology still monotheistic from a Jewish perspective? 2. Which Biblical texts rise to significance for Bauckham s discussion of Christology? Does the NT engage the OT appropriately shedding light on the true meaning of the OT? 3. What stands out to you from the lectures and reading (particularly Bauckham, but also the other reading)? Where do you think the arguments could be improved? 4. Regarding the OT and Jesus Passion in the Gospels, discuss the following questions: Old Testament and Jesus Passion: Class Discussion a. Note the number of OT references (quotes or allusions) in Jesus passion narrative. What difference does it make to read Jesus passion in light of the OT references? What medium (poetry, live video, artistic film, narrative) best captures allusions and what is gained or lost by using other mediums? b. Which psalms are commonly referenced in relation to Jesus Passion? Look these over and discuss what you see. What is the message of these psalms, not only of the verses quoted or alluded to in the Passion narratives? c. Are the psalms prophetic, predicting Jesus passion (predicting what happened)? Or are they fulfilled by Jesus in the sense that they apply to others lives, including and especially his? Do they explain why Jesus suffered and died? d. Thinking generally, what does it mean to fulfill the lament psalms of Israel? What does it mean for Jesus to fulfill the lament psalms written by David? Also discuss the final parallel noted about David, Jesus, and the Mt. of Olives. e. Examine Jesus fulfillment of other OT passages than the Psalms. How do they explain the Jesus suffering and death? Do they explain how and/or why Jesus suffered and died? f. What do you note about any similarities and differences in the use of the Old Testament in the Passion narratives between the Synoptic Gospels and between the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John? 5. How would you explain to a Jew that Jesus fulfills the OT hopes and promises? 6. How would you explain to a Muslim that the Christian faith is monotheistic? How would you explain to a Muslim that Christian teaching on the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus is entirely consistent with divine identity and offers us a greater hope? (This topic takes us beyond Biblical theology per se, but discussing it helps us to understand Scripture better keep the focus on Scripture and its interpretation.) 6

7 Christological Biblical 16. New Testament Christology 17.

How does the Spirit relate to other OT theological topics, such as creation, the people of God, ethics, eschatology? How do these relate to the NT? 3. What stands out to you in your reading of Thiselton? Where would you want to improve on his arguments? 4. What have you learned from this seminar about the Spirit and interpretation of Scripture? Also discuss the power of God at this point, particularly in relation to the Spirit s role in Scripture and in the Church today. Pneumatologic al Biblical 18. The Spirit in the OT 19.

10 Syllabus Addendum Academic Standards Cheating and plagiarism are considered serious breaches of personal and academic integrity. Cheating involves, but is not necessarily limited to, the use of unauthorized sources of information during an examination or the submission of the same (or substantially same) work for credit in two or more courses without the knowledge and consent of the instructors. Plagiarism involves the use of another person s distinctive ideas or words, whether published or unpublished, and representing them as one s own instead of giving proper credit to the source. Plagiarism can also involve over dependence on other source material for the scope and substance of one s writing. Such breaches in academic standards often result in a failing grade as well as other corrective measures [they will for this course]. For more information, please consult the Student Handbook. ADA Policy The seminary complies with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. A student with a qualifying and authenticated disability who is in need of accommodations, should petition the seminary in accordance with the stated guidelines in the Student Handbook. Cancellation of Class In the event the seminary has to cancel a class meeting (impending storm, professor illness, etc.), the Registration Office will send out an (via the GCTS account) notification to all students registered in the respective course. If the cancelation occurs the day of the scheduled meeting, the Registration Office will also attempt to contact students via their primary phone contact on record. The professor will contact the students (via GCTS account) regarding make-up. If a weekend class is cancelled, the class will be made up during the scheduled Make- Up weekend (see the academic calendar for the designated dates). For more info, consult your Student Handbook. Extension Policy Arrangements for submission of late work at a date on or before the last day to submit written work, as noted on the seminary s Academic Calendar, are made between the student and professor. Formal petition to the Registration Office is not required at this time. This includes arrangements for the rescheduling of final exams. However, course work (reading and written) to be submitted after the publicized calendar due date, must be approved by the Registration Office. An extension form, available online, must be submitted to the Registration Office prior to the last day to submit written work. Requests received after this date will either be denied or incur additional penalty. For a full discussion of this policy, please consult the Student Handbook. Grades Grades are posted on-line within twenty-four hours of receipt from the professor. Students are expected to check their CAMS student portal in order to access posted grades. Those individuals who need an official grade report issued to a third party should put their request in writing to the Registration Office. Faculty have six weeks from the course work due date to submit a final grade. Returned Work Submitted course work will be returned to the student provided s/he provides a self-addressed and postage paid envelope with his/her final work. Work submitted without the appropriate envelope will be destroyed once the grade has been assessed and issued. Since the exegesis paper is submitted electronically, only comments and not the paper will be sent to the student once everything is graded. 10
