Anglican Spirituality and Ethos

PSF 302
Spirituality and Spiritual Direction

This course will explore the nature and practice of Anglican spirituality as it is expressed in art, film and poetry. Citing examples spanning the 15th to 20th Centuries, students will experience Anglicanism’s historic emphasis on Incarnation over Atonement as the basis of salvation and the Anglican tendency to talk not so much about grace as to make it visible in words, music, movement and through the visual arts. Students will experience the manner by which these examples demonstrate a theological perspective that some Christian traditions call “worldliness,” but still remain profoundly mystical at the same time. By immersing participants in a variety of nonverbal media alongside assigned texts, this course aims to stimulate right-brain thinking and facilitate learning through sight and sound as well as through written word.

Biblical Greek II

RHTH 418
New Testament Greek

This course is a continuation of RHS 405 Biblical Greek I. The first half of classes will cover Lessons 25–32 in Croy, focusing on the relative pronouns, conditional sentences, and -μι verbs. In the second half, students will translate select gospel stories (both canonical and non-canonical), paying special attention to the ranges of meanings of biblical terms and the syntax of Koine Greek. Offering a set of analytic tools and interpretive methods to read the Greek New Testament, this course will help students better understand the literary and historical contexts of the NT and its theological forces. In turn, it will facilitate students’ critical and constructive engagement with the Bible in their ministerial settings.
