An introduction to what it means to be committed to the vocation of preaching, and to the craft of sermon preparation and delivery. Course will cover the spiritual life of the preacher, the importance of lifelong learning, exegeting the context (liturgical, congregational, and cultural) of when/where a sermon will be delivered and to whom, and the use of image and story in a sermon. The course will be a combination of lecture, “trying out” the craft of preaching, learning from our required readings, and class discussion that will invite us to learn from each other.

This course surveys the historical, religious, and social world of the New Testament, and introduces various critical and literary-theological methods for the study of the New Testament in general. Each of the writings of the New Testament is introduced and surveyed in terms of content, literary structure, critical issues, and theological emphases. The course also examines the life, theology, and soteriology of Paul, and the development of the kerygma, incipient creedal formulae, ministry, and sacraments in the New Testament. The course further examines the development of the Christology of the New Testament and modern debates about and constructs of a “Historical Jesus” as opposed to the “Real Jesus” of the four canonical portraits.

The first of two courses that together provide a comprehensive introduction to ascetical theology, including an overview of the general literature of Christian spirituality and its historical development. This course concerns the individual’s spiritual life and surveys the spiritual literature of the first fourteen Christian centuries. The course has a dual focus on the academic basis of the Church’s spiritual tradition and the student’s experiential appropriation of that tradition, and so the course contains elements meant not only to foster in participants an intellectus fidei (a faithful understanding), but also to assist in developing a habitus fidei (a faithful character) that is embodied in a personalized praxis fidei (a faithful practice).
