The outcomes
What you get
- A structured, gospel-by-gospel foundation in the life, ministry, and teaching of Jesus Christ
- The ability to read each New Testament book historically, literarily, and theologically — not just devotionally
- A clear, confident understanding of Paul's arguments across Romans and his full body of letters
- Working knowledge of every major New Testament text, from Matthew through Revelation
- A proven interpretive method you can carry into any future Bible study or theological reading
- A certificate marking the completion of one of the most rigorous lay-level New Testament programs available
You begin where the New Testament begins: with Jesus. The opening schools ground you in the Gospels — first the life of Christ studied historically and theologically, then the four Evangelists compared side by side, then John's Gospel examined verse by verse. By the time you leave the Gospels, you don't just know the stories. You understand the craft, the theology, and the arguments each writer is making — and why that matters for everything that follows.
From there, the journey moves outward the way the early church did. Acts traces how the Christian movement erupted from Jerusalem and pressed into the Roman world. Romans walks you through Paul's most comprehensive theological letter, argument by argument. Paul's other epistles come next, then the General Epistles — Hebrews, James, Peter, John, Jude — each read on its own terms, with scholarly seriousness and pastoral weight. By this stage, you're not just covering books; you're developing a method — the ability to read any biblical text historically, literarily, and theologically.
The certificate closes with Revelation: the New Testament's most misread, most sensationalized, and most rewarding book. You'll finish not with more confusion, but with a clear framework for responsible interpretation — and a panoramic view of the entire New Testament story that very few readers ever reach. This is not a survey. It's a formation.
Is this you?
Who this is for
The Serious Lay Reader
You've read the New Testament before — maybe many times — but you're ready to understand it at a level that surface reading and Sunday sermons have never taken you.
The Ministry Preparer
You're heading into pastoral work, teaching, or chaplaincy and you need a deep, ordered fluency in the New Testament before you stand in front of anyone and open a Bible.
The Lifelong Learner
You're not in seminary and never will be, but you want the kind of rigorous, substantive New Testament education that was once only available in a classroom.
