Cedarville University is offering a unique learning opportunity for adults to take its New Testament Literature class without charge.
The course, taught by Dr. J. Michael McKay, associate professor of biblical theology at the Cedarville, Ohio, school.
The New Testament class is part of the Bible minor offered by the university. Every lecture from each recorded class is also listed online. The online courses are self-guided and you can access them at cedarville.edu/bibleminorproject.
Founded in 1887, one of Cedarville’s distinctives as an evangelical Christian university is its Bible minor, which all students— regardless of academic major — must complete. Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA has a similar Bible-based minor requirement on Christianity & Culture.
