Irenaeus of Lyons - 2.00 Hours
PLEASE NOTE THIS COURSE WILL BE TAUGHT VIA ZOOM AND IS REMOTE LIVE.
In this reading course we explore the theology of Irenaeus of Lyons, reflecting on Demonstration of Apostolic Preaching and selections of Against Heresies. Students will grow in their confidence and competence to engage, on their own, both his works and those of other 2nd and 3rd century authors of Early Christianity. We will consider his context to better understand his text, so we will explore his polemic as a pastoral response to the persecutions of the 2nd century, but also note his exegetical tendencies as someone raised and catechized in Asia Minor under a Johannine tradition. We will also highlight his theological distinctives. Irenaeus is one of the the earliest Christian theologians that provides clear affirmations regarding the Rule of Faith, the four canonical Gospels, the united work of Father, Son, and Spirit, and salvation as ascent, distinctives that continue to impact Biblical and theological studies today.

Abuse in the Church - 3.00 Hours
POSTGRADUATE DOCTOR OF MINISTRY COURSE/Registration will be open from November 1 – December 15 This course explores how to prevent, recognize, and respond to abuse. Specifically, it will focus on how to minister to those who are survivors of abuse, how to respond to perpetrators of abuse, how to respond in a crisis, and how to build a healthy church culture before there is a particular crisis. This course will be a study of various forms of violence and abuse and the theological and practical implications of the Gospel for these topics. First, we will investigate sexual assault, domestic violence, spiritual abuse, and other types of abuse to better understand each issue as well as the prevalence of the issues and the effects on survivors. Second, we will study the theological subjects of the gospel of the kingdom to lay a foundation for how these biblical and theological themes affect our view of violence and abuse. Third, we will explore how the Gospel offers help, hope, and healing to survivors.
