Featured Winter/Spring 2024 Courses
May 6-10
OT5320: A God Who Hides: Israel’s Five Festival Scrolls – Nate Wall-Bowering
Jewish tradition paired five lesser known books from the Hebrew Bible with Judaism’s five annual festivals. These books – Ruth, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations and Esther- cover the waterfront of human experience: love, loss, trauma, guilt and survival against all odds. Special focus will be given to the theme of divine absence/presence. Read together, these books reveal the jumbled landscape of life to be a place of encounter with a God who hides, woos, shelters, frustrates, and offers unforeseen joys.
May 20-24
NT5303: Acts and the Mission of the Church – Dr. David Johnson
Examine the book of Acts as a literary and theological document, paying attention to the picture of the church under the sovereignty of God as it expands from Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria, and to Rome.
June 3-7
CH6201: Pastoral Care: Theology of Suffering – Dr. Beth Stovell
How does Scripture help us to understand the nature of suffering and how to respond to suffering? How is the Christian hope understood in light of suffering? Explore how Scripture addresses these questions, and discover the continuing impact of the picture of suffering and hope in Scripture for our spiritual lives, the Church, and the world today.
June 17-21
TS5320: Special Studies in Theology: C.S. Lewis and Friends on Making Mere Disciples in a Post-Christian Age – Dr. Dwain Tissell
Learn about doing theology in the budding post-Christian moment in which C. S. Lewis worked and how that might apply to making disciples in our time. When we raise up “mere Christians” among people of all professions, the work of the gospel will flourish in spite of whatever cultural challenges lie ahead.
August 5-9
IN5201: The Art of Spiritual Direction, Theory and Practice – Erik Anderson
Explore various theories and practices of Spiritual Direction and Accompaniment from the early church, the Desert Fathers, and contemporary models. Students also learn conceptual and procedural skills in conducting spiritual direction.
