Course Number: NT316
Professor:
Former Professor of Biblical Studies for Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfiled, Illinois
Course Description:
When Jesus ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father, He told onlookers that one day He would come again. In the book of Revelation, the apostle John has penned a picture of what that return will look like and what will take place in the last months of Earth’s history. What do the images mean? Are they allegorical or is John recording a literal truth about the future? Smith explores possible interpretations of the end-times. Using sound biblical exegesis with historical and contextual facts, students study the book afresh while gaining insights into Jesus’ return.

- Grasp the message of Revelation.
- Understand apocalyptic literature and its role in the canon.
