New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary

Disclaimer: This syllabus is intended to give the student a general idea of the content, format,

and textbooks used for this class. The professor will submit a full syllabus at the beginning of the

class which will contain a course schedule and the instructor’s information.

Semester:

Instructor:

The mission of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary is to equip leaders to fulfill

the Great Commission and the Great Commandments through the local church and its ministries.

Purpose of Course

The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the literature of the New Testament by

means of studying both the Biblical text and the historical and cultural factors that shaped it. The

historical background, certain aspects of contemporary scholarship, and especially the themes

and general teachings of the New Testament books will be discussed.

Our Core Values

The seminary has five core values. The focal core value for 2016-2017 is Mission Focus. This

course supports the five core values of the seminary.

Doctrinal Integrity: Knowing that the Bible is the Word of God, we believe it, teach it, proclaim

it, and submit to it. Our confessional commitments are outlined in the “Articles of Religious

Belief” and the “Baptist Faith and Message 2000."

Spiritual Vitality: We are a worshiping community emphasizing both personal spirituality and

gathering together as a Seminary family for the praise and adoration of God and instruction in

His Word.

Mission Focus: We are not here merely to get an education or to give one. We are here to change

the world by fulfilling the Great Commission and the Great Commandments through the local

church and its ministries.

Characteristic Excellence: What we do, we do to the utmost of our abilities and resources as a

testimony to the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Servant Leadership: We follow the model of Jesus and exert leadership and influence through

the nurture and encouragement of those around us. This year’s core value is Servant Leadership.

Curriculum Competencies Addressed

NOBTS faculty members realize that all ministers need to develop specific competencies if they

are going to have an effective ministry. To increase the likelihood of NOBTS graduates having

an effective ministry, the faculty developed a competency-based curriculum after identifying

seven essential competencies necessary for effective ministry. All graduates are expected to have

at least a minimum level of competency in all of the following seven areas:

Biblical Exposition: To interpret and communicate the Bible accurately.

Christian Theological Heritage: To understand and interpret Christian theological heritage and

Baptist polity for the church.

Disciple Making: To stimulate church health through mobilizing the church for missions,

evangelism, discipleship, and church growth.

Interpersonal Skills: To perform pastoral care effectively, with skills in communication and

conflict management.

Servant Leadership: To serve churches effectively through team ministry.

Spiritual and Character Formation: To provide moral leadership by modeling and mentoring

Christian character and devotion.

Worship Leadership: To facilitate worship effectively.

The primary curriculum competency addressed in this course is Biblical Exposition.

Student Learning Outcomes

Student Learning Outcomes Statement: The following student learning outcomes are employed

to demonstrate the student’s proficiency in each of these areas. The student must demonstrate

accomplishment of each of the items described under the assessment area in order to pass this

course. Assessments will be conducted at the end of this course.

Quizzes and major examinations are timed, open book/notes and are taken online through the

Blackboard course shell. Should you encounter an internet interruption or other technological

difficulty, don’t panic. Contact your Instructor and (s)he will assist you. We will work with you

and re-set the exam or quiz.

We recommend that you keep up with all your work throughout each week in the semester. A

wise strategy for test taking is to use the review study guides and prepare the questions ahead of

time. A good recommendation would be to start no later than a week to prepare the study

questions. Wise students will begin ten days to two weeks in advance.

Part of ministry preparation is learning how to prepare for deadlines. There is a Time

Management Strategy below in this syllabus. Consider this or some similar strategy for

managing your valuable time this semester. You will be working with deadlines for all your

ministerial career. Meeting your deadlines is a huge part of your professional and ministerial

preparedness. Take your deadlines seriously and you will be more highly respected in your

places of service.

Academic Catalog & Policies

Academic policies related to absences, grading scale, final examination schedules, and

other topics can be found in the current online catalog: New Orleans Baptist Theological

Seminary Academic Catalog.

Web-based Course Reminder/Warning

Web-based courses are, by nature, a different kind of learning experience than courses

taught in the traditional classroom. Because of this structure, this web-based course is

more reading and writing intensive than traditional classroom courses. Rigorous study of

the deep things of God can be a rewarding experience for anyone who participates in it,

but it also calls for extra diligence and integrity in completing the work. This reality does

not mean that a web-based course cannot be successful in equipping you, the student, for

effective, God-honoring ministry. It simply means utilizing a different strategy. Internet

courses allow room for independent learners to thrive—to work at a responsible pace, to

engage in student-led discussions, and to take ownership of the learning of course

content. Note that your instructors are praying for your success.

Policy for Graduating Seniors

Graduating Seniors are responsible for alerting the professor of your intention to

graduate. All of your assignments must be completed by noon (12:00 PM) on the

Wednesday prior to commencement exercises.

Course Schedule

Each Unit begins on a Sunday and ends on the Saturday of that given week (except for the first

and last weeks of the term). The due dates for assignments will be the Saturday night at

midnight for each scheduled Unit. For example, Unit 1 will begin on the opening day of the

course as stated in the NOBTS Academic Catalog (see above under Academic Catalog Policies).

Due dates will be Saturday night at midnight. Final exams are due by midnight on the day

internet courses close, as listed in the Academic Catalog. The Information Technology Center

will close all Blackboard shells at midnight Central Time on this date. Students will no longer

have access to the Bb shell after this time. Such dates will be listed in the NOBTS catalog. Here

Recommended Computer Software

The student is strongly encouraged to purchase Bible software for his/her use in biblical exegesis.

At this level of study, a software program capable of producing the text, performing sophisticated

morphological searches, with available lexicons, commentaries, and other helpful supplemental

works is an absolute necessity. The software packages listed below are capable of intense, complex

searches required for biblical studies research purposes and/or sermon preparation. The purchase of

this kind of software is indispensable at this level of language study. The major software packages

all run on either PC or Mac platforms.

Accordance offers various collections with many other add-on texts available and they offer student

discounts. We recommend that Biblical Studies students purchase the level that includes the Greek

and Hebrew texts. Compare their collections by going to their website. Call their customer service

for questions and student discounts. (accordancebible.com)

BibleWorks (bibleworks.com) provides discounts for our students when purchased in bulk orders

(see your professor for more information). BibleWorks costs about $350 for their basic software

program which includes many supplemental works. Ordered in bundles of 10 or more, the price is

reduced to $250 for NOBTS seminary students. Bulk orders are placed through the local NOBTS

LifeWay Store. Call their customer service for questions and student discounts. (bibleworks.com)

Logos 7.0 is offered at varied package prices, but we recommend that you consider a minimum of

the Bronze Level package that has the Greek and Hebrew texts for NOBTS language courses.

NOBTS offers a training course called PREA6230/6330 Technological Applications for Bible

Study and Preaching. Students who take this course may purchase the software at a 30% discount.

Current NOBTS students who purchase the software directly from Logos receive a 20% discount.

Call their customer service for questions and student discounts. (logos.com)

How Can I Learn Time Management?

1. Use a personal calendar

As simple as this may sound, many ministers have not mastered the use of their calendar. Use a

paper calendar or electronic calendar of your choice on your phone or computer--but use it! Here

is one method for learning how to use your calendar:

a. Mark your Project Due Date:

Take your syllabus, right now, and mark EVERY assignment due date.

Simply transfer this step to your professional project due dates as well. Do

this immediately when you receive a due date of any kind.

b. Calculate your Project Start Date:

Give consideration to how long you think the assignment/project will

realistically take to complete and ‘back up’ on your calendar that amount

of time.

c. Add about 10-15% more time to allow for foreseen events that always come up:

In ministry, unforeseen events always occur. Learn to build in a time

cushion that will absorb these events and keep your project on track.

d. Mark the adjusted, calculation for the Project Start Date on your calendar.

e. Discipline yourself to start the project on your calculated date.

This is the most critical and difficult part of time management. Discipline

yourself to start on the timetable you set for yourself.

f. Adjust as needed

2. Use a “To Do List”

This is crucial for time management. Once you have your Project Start Dates on the calendar,

your To Do List helps you visualize what you need to accomplish this particular day during your

busy schedule. This is

3. Look at your calendar first thing as you start your day.

No exceptions! You MUST learn to view your calendar daily. You may miss deadlines and

responsibilities if you fail simply to look at your calendar.

4. Prioritize your “To Do List”

Ask God during your morning prayers to help you prioritize and accomplish your tasks to His

glory!

5. Work down your prioritized list

After step 4, discipline yourself to do each item! Check them off as a small reward for

accomplishing each task.

6. Carry over unfinished items to the next day’s “To Do List”

Some days you just cannot get it all done and sometimes God rearranges your day. Be realistic

and move unfinished items to the next day.

Mastering calendar use is primarily a self-discipline issue. Once you learn to mark your

deadlines and follow your calendar, you will feel a wonderful sense of freedom. You will not

miss any deadline in your life. All your responsibilities will be right in your calendar and all you

have to do is follow it. You will also have confidence to know that you will meet these deadlines

in a professional manner. Much success in your ministry hinges upon three imperatives: “Show

up!” “Show up on time!” “Show up prepared!”
