BIB 632 - Death, After-death, and Resurrection in the New Testament

Pre-requisite: BIB 510
At the heart of the New Testament is the story of Jesus’ resurrection and the claim that this resurrection is God’s saving act for all. This course will focus on several New Testament texts which address Jesus’ resurrection and what it means for life and hope beyond death. We will also look at the Old Testament roots of these ideas and at other Jewish and Greco-Roman texts which discuss death and expectations regarding what comes after death. The course will include a concern for how the New Testament texts shape our proclamation and ministry around issues of death, grief, and hope.
