NT 4013 Evil, Suffering, and Death in the New Testament (Prof. Garrett), January 2020, Louisville Seminary

This is the course website for Prof. Susan Garrett's NT 4013 Evil, Suffering, and Death in the New Testament, taught during J-Term 2020. J-Term is an intensive 2-week, all-day classes term of study for D.Min students.

Course description: In this course we will seek to identify some of the ways that evil, suffering, and death were experienced and explained by New Testament authors and their contemporaries. We will also consider how ancient views of these phenomena are both similar to and different from modern views, and how we can apply this knowledge in order to minister more effectively to sufferers.
