Upcoming Courses

The Book of Job:
Faith in Seasons of Suffering

The Book of Job is one of the more mysterious and difficult books of the Bible. Its central theme of faith in the midst of suffering is clear, yet sounding the depths of its response to the theological problem of pain and evil is challenging at every level. We will conduct this course as a multinational Bible study comprised of smaller discussion groups.

The Date of the
Last Supper

The Last Supper is one of the most important events in final week of Jesus' ministry in Jerusalem but there appears to be a significant difference between the Gospels in the way that they narrate this event. Did Jesus celebrate the Last Supper as a Passover meal (as the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke seem to indicate) or before the Passover (as the Gospel of John states)? New research leads to a fresh answer about this quandy which was debated even in the ancient church!

Jesus in the
Jewish Holidays

This course will focus on the major Jewish holidays in the Bible: Passover, Shavuot (Pentecost), Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Succot (Feast of Tabernacles), and Shabat (the Sabbath). We will review how and why they are celebrated. In addition, we will try to understand how each one represents elements of Jesus’ life, ministry, and purpose.

Introduction to Prayer

Learning to pray is the proper starting point for the study of theology. This course is designed to give class participants a basic introduction to the practice and theology of prayer in the Christian tradition. Course sessions will explore the theological framework of prayer and study the prayers of the Bible as a pattern for our own prayers. Following this class, students will be able to evaluate the dynamics of their personal prayer lives and be prepared to lead corporate prayer services.

Praying the Daily Texts

The Moravian Daily Texts are much more than simply another devotional. Published every year since 1731, the Daily Texts include Old and New Testament passages for the reader to reflect on through the day, portions of hymns, and carefully written prayers. This one-hour workshop will discuss what these texts are and how they can be used in both personal and corporate settings.
