Online DMin Course
DM872 The Epistle to the Hebrews: Exegesis and Theology–ONLINE
3 credits • Beginning May 13
Fort Lauderdale, FL • Knox Theological Seminary
A study of the Epistle to the Hebrews that focuses on its literary and canonical argument, drawing on the history of interpretation and considering its implications for Christian doctrine and ministry. In so doing, we consider a number of major issues in theology and ministry: the work of Christ, the relation of the Old and New Covenants, the objective and subjective aspects of the Christian life, suffering and perseverance, assurance, and the nature of faith. Taught by Dr. Michael Allen.
SUMMER, 2013
DM856 Mission and Tradition: Seeking Balance in Ministry
3 credits • June 10-14
Fort Lauderdale, FL • Knox Theological Seminary
This class will explore the emerging and traditional churches, as we seek to discover a third way to be the Church in the 21st century. Deep Church is the phrase C.S. Lewis used to describe the body of believers committed to mere Christianity. Unfortunately church in our postmodern era has been marked by a certain shallowness. This course brings hope to those who may be fed up with contemporary pragmatism by offering alternative visions for this present culture. While some traditional churches have reacted negatively and/or defensively, we will seek to bring the best insights from all sides of the issue to forge a third way between emerging and traditional: a missional church committed to both its own culture and its Christian tradition, valuing innovation in worship, arts, and community (mission) but also creeds, confessions, and historic patterns of worship and discipleship (tradition). Taught by Dr. Jim Belcher.
DM818 Enriching Preaching through Using Logos Software
3 credits • June 17-21
Fort Lauderdale, FL • Knox Theological Seminary

This course is a developmental course designed to teach pastors and teachers the latest software tools in exegetical analysis stressing proficiency in skill and efficiency in time. Logos Bible Software is the principal software engine used in this course. Taught by Dr. Sam Lamerson.

DM916 Scripture and Doctrine
3 credits • June 24-28
Fort Lauderdale, FL • Knox Theological Seminary
Doctrine begins and ends with scriptural interpretation. By working with and testing this basic thesis this course will commend an account of the relationship between scripture and doctrine in which doctrine is understood as a reading of scripture and as that which enables us to read scripture well. To consider this reciprocal relationship – theology flows from scripture and returns us to scripture as better readers – this course will explore the character and content of the Bible, the relationship between the Old and New Testament, the process and history of interpretation, and a number of case-studies demonstrating the biblical basis for doctrinal formulations and, conversely, how doctrinal formulations can aid biblical interpretation. Throughout, attention will be given to the effectiveness and creativity of God’s word, indicating that ultimately it is not we who interpret scripture, but God who interprets us through his word. Taught by Dr. Jonathan Linebaugh.
FALL, 2013
DM841 Church Planting
3 credits • October 7-11
Fort Lauderdale, FL • Knox Theological Seminary
Examines the in-depth biblical principles and practice of church planting and revitalization. Taught by Dr. Terry Gyger.
DM926 Using the History of Exegesis
3 credits • October 14-18
Fort Lauderdale, FL • Knox Theological Seminary
We do not read the Bible alone. We read within the “communion of saints” and are reliant upon the Holy Spirit’s illumination of this biblical text throughout the centuries and around the globe. In this course, students learn how to make use of the exegetical resources drawn from church history. We familiarize ourselves with the interpretive work of the patristic, medieval, and Reformation eras, so that we can employ not only contemporary but also classical voices in our ongoing conversations about the Bible. We learn how to glean the strengths of the history of exegesis, while doing so critically and faithfully. Taught by Dr. Gerald Bray.
DM905 Preaching Christ Prophetically
3 credits • October 14-18
Bellingham, WA • Logos Bible Software Headquarters
Two spies sent into the great city, seven trumpets sound, a great city falls, the people of God rescued. Is Joshua’s battle against Jericho the basis for the dramatic narrative of the Book of Revelation? The fathers of the church taught as much, but modern expositors have overlooked this completely. What have we missed? Also, there are significant literary patterns interweaving the Fourth Gospel and Revelation. Is John’s Gospel a significant interpretive clue to The Apocalypse? This course seeks to establish a clear framework within the Scripture for understanding Revelation: its genre, its symbols, and its meaning to the church today. Taught by Dr. Warren Gage.
