New Testament Survey Class
Posted on April 21, 2006 by Steve Weaver
Last night I began teaching a New Testament Survey Class at the Seminary Extension Center located at the Sweetwater Baptist Association office. I have created this page to host the class syllabus and lecture outlines. Additional material will be added as the class continues. There will be a permanent link to this page in the left sidebar of my main page. In addition, the comments section of this post can serve as a place for discussion for students in this class if desired.
