New Testament Churches

Course Description:

From the book of Acts to the book of Revelation, the New Testament talks about churches.  How did all the churches in the New Testament get started?  Who founded the Christian church?  What problems do New Testament churches have?  How can there be one capital "C" Church?  Why is Christianity so church-oriented?  This course encourages students to raise questions about "church" as they read through the New Testament epistles.  It's a course that helps students see how books in the New Testament interrelate.
