Would anyone who has gone through this course be willing to share their thoughts/opinions on the value of it's content?
Looks like a systematic theology and looks good. I'm feeling very tempted too, instead of his Romans course

I just looked back at the description and it states: "Survey the structures and purpose of New Testament theology with renowned Bible scholar". I would think it will still be pretty intense as it is a 300 level. I too would like to hear from others who might have some time with it.
I had done a quick read of the description but put most of my attention on the course outline. Guess I missed the forest for the trees. Would still be nice if anyone experienced with the course would share their thoughts/impressions.
I think I'll pass 👍
Time's almost out, so thought I'd check one more time to see if anyone has viewed this course (all or in part) and would be willing to share an opinion.
I don't think you are likely to get it for less than 70% off. If you find it doesn't meet your needs, you can return it for a refund within 30 days.
I picked up both of Moo's study in Romans and his NT Survey as part of the annual Mobile App sale. I've tried to go through the (reading assignment) courseware on both - but it takes me forever, I lose momentum, and my study stalls and dies. Recently I have been listening to course audio files as I walk our dog or drive to church - and frankly this has been the best method to wrap my head around the content. I have found that these two courses compliment each other. Sometimes difficult topics - such as NT Wright's views on the Apostle Paul - are explained more clearly in one course that the other. I have found studying both courses really helps me grasp the content.
I have been a Christian for over three decades, have a decent general understanding of the scriptures, but, frankly don't have what I consider to be an adequate overall understanding. Both Moo's courses rely on a "biblical theology" framework - focus more upon general themes rather than individual events, and have provided a good comprehensive view of all the scriptures. The danger in this approach, of course, is that you are receiving a potentially "biased" view of the scriptures based upon Moos' thematic framework - but Moo does a great job in this course minimizing this likelihood by summarizing different viewpoints for each debated point before presenting his view. This all gets a bit technical, but I have found that understanding the various viewpoints helpful to better understand both sides of theological debates.
I have found incredible value in these courses. If understanding the Bible is important to you, and you have the opportunity to purchase these courses on sale - I'd recommend adding them to your digital library.

Nicely summarized, Greg. Do you write reviews for a living? Welcome to the Forums.
Thanks for the compliment! I don’t write a lot of reviews, but the majority of my ”tent-making” job does involve writing and speaking. Now, if I could only transfer those skills to preaching!
Glad to be part of the forum. As a working professional, I have found all the Mobile Ed courses very helpful in furthering my understanding of the scriptures. The quality of the course content significantly exceeds the cost. Looking forward to learning more and fellowshipping with others in the forums.
