1 SC-531-Online New Testament Survey Syllabus Fall 2018 Shanell T. Smith, Ph.D. Associate Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins Best Form of Contact: Policy: The instructor will use the official Hartsem student addresses for all communications. Please check your Hartsem account regularly. I. Course Description What is the New Testament? Who are its authors? Why these texts? What was going on when they were written? And for whom? How are these texts read today? Does context really matter? This course, which explores the New Testament texts in a broad, survey fashion, will tackle these questions (and many more!). We will read the biblical texts closely, critically, and constructively, and engage in literary and rhetorical inquiry. We will also incorporate several types of biblical methods and lenses that are used in New Testament scholarship such as feminist, womanist, and postcolonial criticism (to name a few). II. Objectives To help students: Gain familiarity with the New Testament (NT) texts Examine biblical texts in their ancient contexts Examine one s role in biblical interpretation and the factors that influence one s reading To enhance and practice dialogue about biblical texts Critically engage and evaluate secondary scholarship (monographs, articles, essays, commentaries, etc.) by asking questions and challenging arguments based on the student s own biblical analysis Discover that context matters, and in the process, learn how to read NT texts with theological and ethical sensitivity III. Identified Seminary Learning Outcomes: To demonstrate foundational and critical knowledge of one s own religion. To demonstrate knowledge and skills for dialogical and constructive engagement with diversity. IV. Required Texts 1. Bible: New Revised Standard Version 2. Stephen L. Harris, The New Testament: A Student s Introduction (7th ed.; McGraw-Hill, 2012). [ISBN: ] 3.

Course Requirements and Assessment Regular, constructive engagement in online discussions is expected. Your preparation, critical analysis, and respectful dialogue (among other things) are what will make this course successful. Please note: This. Course. Is. Not. Your. Personal. Soapbox. In other words, this is not your venue, your platform on which you will engage in negative rhetoric, aiming political, racist, sexist, religion-ist (whatever) weaponry at your colleagues or the professor. This is a collaborative learning environment, and we shall govern ourselves accordingly. Any student who takes it upon him-/herself to be offensive or derogatory especially after such an offense has been noted - will be penalized at the professor s discretion. Now that that s settled. A. Online Dialogue (60% of final grade): Students will write weekly posts (500 words; 450-word minimum) based on a prompt provided by the professor. Students will also respond substantively to two classmates posts (250 words; 200 word minimum) each week. These posts and responses will not be a recapitulation of the lecture or readings, but rather an engagement that includes critical analysis in efforts to constructively further online class dialogue. B. New Testament in Film (15% of final grade):
3 Masters/Certificate Students will post a video, documentary clip, short film, sitcom, cartoon, etc. that represents, suggests, or illustrates an aspect of a New Testament text.

PhD/DMin Students will post a 7-10 minute video presentation on a scholarly examination of (a text of) the New Testament. (#bookreview) It will include: an examination of the text s title (Is it accurate? Does it match the content?); an overview of the text s main argument(s) and how the author arrived there; and her or his own overall assessment of the work. Two questions to facilitate dialogue should also be included. Books must be approved by the professor in advance. Due date: Week 12: Nov (Wed., Nov. 28 original posts; Fri,. Nov. 30 responses to colleagues due.) C. Midterm Paper (25% of Final Grade) Students will write a critical, interpretive essay on a New Testament text or theme that has been pre-approved by the professor.

If you are unable to post or need an extension, please notify the professor in advance or at the earliest opportunity via .
