Hahn, Ph.D. Office: (816) Office Hours: By appointment rlhahn@nts.edu Catalog Description An introduction to Paul s theological method and an exploration of the fundamental theological insights of his Epistles. Course Narrative & Rationale As a course in Biblical Theology, Theology of Paul assumes exegetical and hermeneutical skills and experiences. In the NTS Bible curriculum courses in Biblical Languages, Biblical Hermeneutics, and Exegesis develop analytical skill in the study of the Bible. The courses in Biblical Theology are synthetic in nature, built on the assumption of the analytical work as foundational. The Theology of Paul is a Biblical Theology elective course. It may fulfill 3 hours of New Testament or 3 hours of Biblical Area Electives in the MDiv. It may also fulfill 3 hours of the Bible Domain requirements for the MACE degree. It may fulfill the New Testament Theology requirement in the MATS, Biblical Studies Research Track, or 3 hours of any New Testament elective in any of the MATS tracks. It may also serve as a free elective in any of BIB760, Theology of Paul Spring 2013 Page 1

2 the Masters level degree programs. The recommended prior coursework includes BIB550, Biblical Hermeneutics, and 6 hours of exegetical courses. Students who have not had at least one course in exegesis should consult with the instructor before enrolling. Course Vision If God were to really bless this course students would be captivated by the message and method of Paul s thought. Their understanding of Paul s view of the church and of the gospel would focus the direction of their own Christian lives and ministries. They would be captured by the vision of experiencing the faithfulness of God and union with Christ and would give their lives to nurturing of communities of faith within the Pauline tradition. Their participation in Paul s struggle to form the churches and individuals to which he wrote would give them the confidence that the gospel speaks graciously and effectively to unsettled times and people. Should such changes begin to occur in students their ministries would spill confidence in God into the life of the church. As the church begins to live out of the forming reality of the gospel the world would discover authentic Christianity and receive both a winsome and challenging witness to the call of Christ. Some in the world would reject this gospel because of correctly understanding it. Some would accept the call of Christ with joy.

With the exception of the first session, the reading should be completed by the date for which it is listed. You should be prepared to answer and to ask questions from the reading on that day. The letter (Z, D, G) in the schedule represents the first letter of the last name of the author of the textbook in question (e.g., D = Dunn s Theology of Paul the Apostle). You should also read the letters attributed to Paul in the New Testament and the section of Acts dealing with Paul several times within the course of the semester. The schedule below suggests a first read through and texts to be aware of with the seminar sessions. 2. Outside Reading and Oral Reporting (Outcomes 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, CN11, and CN14) - The first four weeks of class will be devoted primarily to lecture designed to set the stage for seminar work on Paul the remainder of the semester. For each of the seminar sessions except the final day of class, you will assigned an outside reading (usually between 60 and 120 pages) from a scholar with significant input for the subject(s) being discussed that day. You will receive the reading assignment no later than the class session one week prior to the treatment of that subject. You will have two primary responsibilities from your reading each week. The first is that you will be responsible to report the perspective of your assigned reading in the course of the seminar discussion that the instructor will guide. You should be able to describe the perspective or "angle" taken by your author, the flow of argument (if any), the key scripture passages your author identified and how she or he used those passages. Use the material from Zettholm and the lecture on the history of Pauline studies to identify the perspective represented by the author you are reading and reporting on. You should be prepared to participate in a free flowing discussion by contributing the appropriate material from your author at the appropriate time. You will not be asked to provide a report of your material all at once.

You should be especially aware of the passages from Paul that pertain to the subject and be prepared to show how your author used those passages in support of his or her position. The report should list at the top the bibliographic information describing what you read. Use page numbers in parentheses ( ) if you want to cite (a) specific page(s) from the book.
