OK gang... here's the dealio... If I have to go back to seminary, you all have to go back with me. I am taking three great classes this semester...
People of the Book: This course examines historical and theological relations among the three major religions known as “people of the book”: Judaism: Christianity, and Islam. Course topics include understandings of scripture, scriptural authority, and scriptural interpretation as well as comparative work on particular figures and themes of the respective scriptures.
19th Century Protestant Theology: This is a study of “modern” Protestant theology from Schleiermacher to the Dialectical Theology of the early 20th Century. This course attends to the issues posed to theology in the “modern” period, including the rise of historical consciousness, the challenge of the scientific world view, and the call for just social and economic structures, and examines important and representative responses to these issues.
Preaching the Literary Forms of the New Testament: An intensive study of the diverse literary forms of the New Testament and the role of such forms in sermon preparation, both hermeneutically and homiletically. The course also considers the ways in which rhetorical critical approaches to New Testament interpretation intersect with the interpretation of the local church context, and thereby influence the preacher’s own repertoire of sermon forms.
Sooo... from time to time I will try to post some stuff from my classes. Here is my first installment, a few questions from my, "People of the Book Course." There are only 12 questions on the survey, but they are separated into three pages, so make sure that you click on the "next" button at the bottom of each page in order to hit all three pages.
Check back here to see the developing results.
