"Diachronic development" is the ways theological structures grew or developed over time. This lesson provides a basic orientation toward diachronic development, explores how epochal developments took place between major historical periods or epochs, and looks at how specific topics developed over time in the Old Testament.

The first four books of the New Testament - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - are commonly known as "the Gospels." These books explain the life and ministry of Jesus, and are the basis for most of the distinctive doctrines of Christianity.

Lesson 1 explores the literary character of the Gospels, their status in the Church, and their unity and variety.

(Lesson 2 of The Primeval History) Examines Genesis 2:4-3:24, the story of Adam and Eve's sin in the garden.

There are many similarities between the ways biblical theology approaches both Testaments, but there are also significant differences. This lesson focuses on: an orientation toward New Testament biblical theology, the development of the Bible's teaching about eschatology, or the last days (a crucial issue in New Testament biblical theology), and how biblical theologians have approached New Testament eschatology itself.

Explores Jesus' fullfillment of the Old Testament office of king.

Explores the three major concepts that Luke addressed as he unfolded the unhindered spread of the gospel of God's kingdom in the days of the early church.

(Lesson 2 of Father Abraham) Explores the original impact these stories were intended to have on the nation of Israel as they followed Moses toward the Promised Land.

(Lesson 3 of Father Abraham) Concentrates on responsible ways to draw modern applications from the chapters in Genesis that speak of Abraham.

Explores both reflective and practical wisdom found in the book of James and discusses what this meant for the original audience and what it means for Christians today.

Focuses on how prophetic eschatology developed through the historical periods of: Moses, the early prophets, the later prophets, and the New Testament.
