What text book does the Mobile Ed: LA211 Introducing New Testament Discourse Grammar (6 hour course) follow? Is the approach of this course deductive or inductive?

    Courses rarely follow a single text. Discourse Analysis is a descriptive branch of linguistics.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    While MJ is correct (as usual), there's a way to find out more. Every Mobile Ed course has an associated Faithlife Group, here https://faithlife.com/la211/activity - if you follow that group, you can see under Bible Study / Logos Documents a spreadsheet which gives the resources used in Suggested Readings and See Also, along with the number of appearances per resource. This resembles the page in the courses tool one can see as an owner of the course. From those spreadsheets one can get a very helpful view in the resources used in the add-on reading of any course. 

    This course, taught by Steve Runge, suggests 66 times the Discourse Grammar (authored by Steve Runge). So while the course may not follow the textbook as in " now let's open page 278 and read the first paragraph", it seems to teach the principles laid out there, and owning the Grammar may be beneficial to study the course.   

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile
