NT286 Survey of the General Epistles
Overview
This course covers the seven biblical letters known as the Catholic Epistles. After an overview of the Catholic Epistles in general, students will explore issues such as authorship and audience in James, as well as themes such as perfection/wholeness, faith, works and justification. First and Second Peter are covered next with a focus on submission, suffering and responding to false teachers. The course concludes with a look at Jude and the letters of John.

“The prophecy is not of a new law, but of the law, God’s law, put within one and written on one’s heart.” (source)
“He’s reading the story of the ot, but implicitly, he’s reading it knowing that the Messiah has come to fulfill this expectation of reconstituting God’s people. This is full of hope and expectation, and it both looks backward to the storyline of Israel but also looks forward to the present in what God has done in Christ and what He will continue to do through the Messiah.” (source)
“this sequence might be suggested by Paul’s listing of the pillar apostles in Jerusalem in Gal 2:9.” (source)
