Over the years I’ve developed a variety of individual handouts for New Testament classes that I’ve taught. Today I decided to compile them into a brief New Testament Introduction Sourcebook to share freely and openly with the world.
The sourcebook materials are well-suited to accompany my introductory video lectures for New Testament (RLST 201) at CSU Fullerton. The related RLST 201 course syllabus for Spring 2018 is also available.
What follows is a list of the various materials/handouts in the sourcebook:
- TaNaKh vs. Old Testament: Comparison of Traditional Canonical Count, Order, and Groupings
- TaNaKh Hebrew Names, Groupings, and Order
- Rabbinic Excerpts on Canon
- Christian OT vs. Christian OT
- Formation of the NT Canon Worksheet
- Muratorian Fragment (Latin text and Bilby translation)
- Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History 3.25 (Greek text and Bilby translation)
- Athanasius, Festival Letter 39 (Greek text and Bilby translation)
- SBL Handbook of Style, Hebrew Transliteration Key (adapted)
- Greek Transliteration Chart (based on SBL Handbook of Style)
- Hebrew-Jewish Calendar
- Historical Timeline of Ancient Israel
- TaNaKh / Old Testament Books: Source/Authorship & Date
- Guide to the Prophets
