Exegetical Theology
200 LEVEL COURSES
Required Courses
EXT 212 ROMANS
An interpretation of the first eight chapters of Romans on the basis of the Greek text. Special
attention is given to the terminology and to the theological and the anthropological content
of the epistle. Early and modern interpreters are consulted. Note 10.
EXT 213 GALATIANS
Paul in this letter powerfully sets forth the doctrine of justification by grace through faith
in the completed atoning work of Jesus Christ. In a fighting mood, the Apostle rejects with
passionate intensity the perversion of this central, saving truth by the Judaizers, who have
sought to overthrow the faith of the newly established congregations in Galatia. Luther
called this letter his “Katie.” It afforded him the precise argumentation he needed to employ
against the pernicious teaching of work righteousness held in the church of his day. Note 10.
EXT 214 OLD TESTAMENT ISAGOGICS II
Nature, content, authorship and purpose of the biblical books known as the Prophets and the
Writings, with special attention to Messianic prophecy.
EXT 218 GENESIS
An exegetical study of selected passages (in Hebrew) within the context of the book as a
whole, with special emphasis on the first three chapters.
Elective Courses EXT E202 BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONS OF MISSIONS
This course is one part of a four-course emphasis on missions. The mission of the Triune
God is a persistent theme in the Old and New Testaments. Key passages and themes will be
covered to illustrate how God transmitted His mission to humanity in many diverse ways,
particularly during the period of the nation of Israel, the person and work of Christ, and the
early apostolic church.
EXT E221 ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE NEW TESTAMENT
Survey of recent archaeological discoveries in the Mediterranean Basin as these relate to the
interpretation of the New Testament. Emphasis on the large cultural commercial centers of
the first century (Jerusalem, Ephesus, Philippi, Athens, Corinth and Rome).
EXT E225 HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS
A survey of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Attention is directed to how the events,
episodes and teaching of Jesus relate to one another. The distinctive accents and perspective
of each Gospel are also noted.
EXT E230 EXODUS
An exegetical study of selected portions of the Book of Exodus, special attention being
directed to the pivotal place of Exodus in Old Testament theology as a whole, the Messianic
texts, and the place of worship in Israel’s life.
EXT E231 I AND II CHRONICLES
An exegetical study of selected texts from I and II Chronicles, on the basis of the Masoretic
Text, with particular attention to the christological content of the books. The relationship of
the Chronicler’s work to Ezra/Nehemiah and Samuel/Kings will be explained in detail.
EXT E236 SELECTED PSALMS
An exegetical study of selected Psalms within the context of the book as a whole, special
attention being given to Messianic prophecy and the use of the Psalms in the New Testament
and the worship life of the church.
EXT E246 MESSIANIC PROPHECIES
An exegetical study in chronological sequence of selected Messianic prophecies (outside the
books of Genesis, Isaiah and Psalms) within the context of the Christology of the Old
Testament as a whole.
EXT E251 MARK
A cursory reading of the Gospel of Mark in Greek. Selected pericopes are studied in depth,
utilizing the full range of exegetical tools. Special attention is given to the unique purpose
and style of Mark with corresponding treatment by the interpreter today.
EXT E280 PHILIPPIANS - COLOSSIANS
Interpretation on the basis of the original texts. Special attention is given in Philippians to
the theme of joy amidst suffering, the importance of 2:5-11 for Lutheran doctrine and its
modern treatment, and in Colossians to the determination of the heresy at Colossae and the
christological answer given to it.
