The case study is a way of doing theology which does not divorce theory from practice or action from reflection. It may be helpful to read The Bible in Human Transformation by Walter Wink in this connection. The case study will help the participant in the following ways. 1. One will be encouraged to cultivate and sharpen tools of observation, critical analysis, integration of theory and practice, theological reflection, and ways to evaluate a particular act of ministry. 2. It is a method which fosters an integration with, and interaction with theological issues. 3. It encourages the participant to think …

A study of 1 John, James, Jude and 1 and 2 Peter which builds on the methodology of the first inductive Bible study course by further use of what has been previously learned and by emphasizing the study of books as wholes. Accordingly, there is a special focus on the initial survey of books as wholes, the interpretation of parts of books in the context of the book as a whole, and the synthesis of books. In addition, attention is given to thinking, valuing and living biblically by learning how to apply Scripture to life and ministry. This course seeks …

Aspirations: OT 520 seeks to equip students for ministry by providing selected tools fundamental to responsible interpretation of the OT. The course neither offers a comprehensive approach, nor emphasizes direct textual study, but enhances both by developing a framework within which competent interpretation can take place. Students explore contemporary approaches to the literary character, historical and cultural setting, composition, authorship, and literary unity of these books, their various literary types, settings, and functions, and how these affect Christian reading of the OT. Students who realize these aspirations will be able to : 1. Show how a close reading of the …
