Featured 2024 Courses

Sep. to Dec. (Thursdays @ 6:30pm, Winnipeg)

God’s Fallen Messiahs: 1 & 2 Samuel (Nate Wall-Bowering)

The Book of Samuel is widely considered a masterpiece of biblical storytelling. This course trains students to engage the book’s narrative art responsibly and imaginatively as a word from Israel’s Lord that speaks to the Church here and now. Key themes of the book will be explored, especially the high stakes of prayer, the use and abuse of power, and the deeply ambivalent relationship God has to Israel’s kings. As Christian interpreters, we will allow 1 & 2 Samuel to sound its witness canonically, both within what Jewish tradition calls the Former Prophets, and as part of the two-testament Christian Bible.

Sep. 30 to Oct. 4 Modules

A Critique of Secular Culture (Gavin Hall)

An interactive seminar that builds on a Christian understanding of worldview and culture to assess critically the history and character of Western secular culture, with specific implications for global Christians.

Recovering the Book of Revelation (Joshua Coutts)

This course is an exposition of the book of Revelation. The nature of apocalyptic literature and its intertextuality are studied. The course examines the message of Revelation to John’s seven churches, and the ongoing message to all churches that flows from it.

November 4 to 8 Modules

A Biblical Theology of Mission (Daryl Climenhaga)

An exploration of Christian mission through the eyes of biblical theology, with special attention to unifying themes that penetrate the diversity of biblical witness.

Special Topics – Spiritual Care in Corrections (Hank Dixon)

This week-long intensive course is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of correctional spiritual care which encompasses institutional chaplaincy and community support. They will gain insights into the Canadian justice system, the experience of individuals moving through prison, parole, and community reintegration. Spiritual care in these settings will be studied by exploring different theological/psychological models, prison and community dynamics, perspectives on rehabilitation, working with correctional staff, safe practices, and self-care.
