TH: 535 History of Christian Thought II: From the Reformation to the Modern Age
A study of Christian theology in its cultural and institutional context. (Continuation of TH 530) Beginning with the Protestant Reformation to the 16th century, special emphasis will be given to the rise of humanism, Protestant and Catholic orthodoxy after Trent, Pietism, and the missionary impulse, modern understandings of scripture and authority in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Readings, discussions, oral reports on assigned readings. Instructor: Dr. Richard L. Christensen.
This course will meet Tuesday evenings, 5:30-8:30 p.m., beginning January 12, 2010.
TH: 570 Seminar in Biblical Hermeneutics
The goal of this course is to help students become more knowledgeable and thoughtful interpreters of the biblical texts by leading them to critically consider various methodological approaches and perspectives and through that encounter to reflect upon and deepen their own understanding of the nature of Scripture. The course will assist students in further developing their exegetical skills; treat in more detail several hermeneutical methodologies, and examine and discuss the issues of biblical authority, inspiration and canon with the aim of enabling students to see how an interpreter's approach to the biblical texts reflects and are shaped by his or her view on these related issues. Prerequisite: TH 510 or TH 520. Instructor: Dr. Karl Kuhn.
This course will meet Thursday evenings, 5:30-8:30 p.m., beginning January 14, 2010.
