NT 632 Exegesis of Philippians

A. ASSUMED TEXTS 1. Access to two modern translations of the NT, preferably at least one “literal” or formal equivalence (e.g., New American Standard, Revised Standard, English Standard Version, New Revised Standard) and one “dynamic equivalence” translation (e.g., New International). Paraphrases (Living Bible, New Living Translation, The Message) are not suitable for the NT632: Page 2 of 8 purposes of this course. 2. Access to a critical edition of the Greek text: e.g., United Bible Society (3rd or 4th ed.); Nestle-Aland (26th or 27th ed.) or to a Greek-English interlinear based on these Greek texts. Students are expected to bring a copy of the Greek text of Philippians or an interlinear to class meetings. 3. BibleWorks 5.0 or 6.0 is highly recommended and will by itself more than satisfy 1 and 2. Students will be expected to work with the BibleWorks program for certain exegetical assignments. If you do not own the software, it will be your responsibility to find time in the Library’s computer lab to fulfill the assignment. C. Required Textbooks Black, David A.

T. O’Brien, The Epistle to the Philippians: A Commentary on the Greek Text. (NIGTC; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1991).https://place.asburyseminary.edu/syllabi/2624/thumbnail.jp

NT 520 New Testament Introduction

Catalog Description An introduction to (1) the literature of the New Testament in its socio-historical, literary and canonical contexts; and (2) critical study of the New Testament.https://place.asburyseminary.edu/syllabi/3429/thumbnail.jp

NT 511 The Gospel of Mark

COURSE MATERIALS AND TEXTBOOKS: a) Biblical Texts. i) Provided. Students will be supplied with a common “manuscript” of Mark in the Revised Standard Version. Students will need to supply their own markers. I recommend at least eight colors and a pencil for annotations. ii) Assumed. (1) English Texts: For the purpose of comparison, access to at least two other contemporary translation of the Bible based on a critical text, preferably the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), the New American Bible (NAB), the New American Standard (NAS), or New International Version (NIV). Excluded are The Living Bible, New Living Translation, The Message, the King James, and New King James, which whatever their other merits, do not fit the close reading objectives of this class. (2) Greek Texts: At least one of the following: A Greek-English interlinear NT such as Robert K. Brown, Philip Comfort, and J.D. Douglas, eds, The New Greek-English Interlinear New Testament (Wheaton, Ill.: Tyndale, 1993) or, for more advanced or ambitious readers of Greek, The United Bible Society’s The Greek New Testament, 4th ed. or the Nestle-Aland, Novum Testamentum Graece, 27th ed. Students may also wish to consider the Greek-English New Testament in which the full NA27 Greek text, including apparatus, is interfaced with the RSV translation. iii) Recommended. If they have not done so already, students should seriously consider acquiring Bible Works 6.0. This program will be either required or extremely valuable for at least eight courses in the M.Div. curriculum to say nothing of its ongoing value for exegetical research and sermon preparation. b) Course Texts Fee, Gordon and Doug Stuart.
