Albert Einstein said you could not solve a problem inside the frame that created it. Christianity has a problem. Theodore Roszak described the faith as “socially irrelevant, even if privately engaging.” The solution is a new frame. This course introduces a new frame, not a new faith. It’s not a new or novel idea. In 1686, Boston minister Samuel Willard urged his church to imagine faithfulness to Christ in metaphors borrowed from things“well known” such as business or merchandise. “Assist leader” is drawn from sports and reframes our theology, anthropology, and ecclesiology, so that the church can once more lead the league in assists and get the gospel back in the game. Taught by Dr. Mike Metzger.

The Savior claimed that all the Scriptures spoke of him (John 5:39), that the theme of the Old Testament was the suffering of Messiah and the glory to follow (Luke 24:25-27). Paul claimed that the Hebrew Scriptures taught that Christ must suffer death and burial followed by a third day resurrection (1 Cor 15:4). This course is designed to enable you to see the gospel pervasively in the Old Testament, just as the New Testament authors claimed. It focuses on the many, many foreshadowings of the death and third day resurrection of Christ in the Old Testament. It further explores the New Testament method of typology and symbols of Christ that unite the testaments around the theme of the coming of Christ, as Matthew stated, “that it might be fulfilled.” Taught by Dr. Warren Gage.

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. We plan to offer a measured appreciation and affirmation as well as a balanced critique. This will be done by providing constructive models from church planting experience and by painting a picture of what this alternate, deep church looks like – 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 and Dr. Mike Allen.

A study of Deuteronomy 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 people of God and the place (kingdom) of God, the importance of remembrance in the life of faith, worship, social ethics, Christian formation, and the relationship of faith and obedience. Taught by Dr. Mike Allen.
