THEO1421 · Theology
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
The New Testament has been an influential and often fundamental source for many modern, Western views of God, nature, human beings, a just society, and the origin and destiny of humanity and the world. An intelligent, serious reading of the New Testament raises most of the enduring questions that have traditionally stood at the center of philosophical and theological debate. Thus, a thorough analysis of texts from the New Testament in terms of the central concerns of the core curriculum will be the primary goal of THEO 1421 Inscribing the Word: The New Testament. Satisfies Core requirement for: Theology (Sacred Texts and Traditions)

One of the kindest professors I have had at BC. The class is very well structured, and she gives study guides and mock quizzes, which she uses for questions on the exams. If you need to take your Theo Core take it with Prof Miura!
