As usual, Dr. Blomberg gives very concise, but adequate, summaries and outlines. I also particularly like his chapter on the geographical, social, and political contexts of the New Testament books. It gives us very comprehensive background, succinctly compressed into one talk. A course to be recommended highly.

This course overall gave me a deeper understanding of the life of Christ and New Testament history. I have always enjoyed the Book of Acts when I’ve studied it. The power and presence of the Holy Spirit can be seen and felt when I read the book. I especially liked how the professor specifically wrote out in his outline of the syllabus what was expected in order to achieve a certificate. A wonderful course that I would suggest to anyone. Thank You!
