E-Seminary Winter 2015 session
Please enroll by January 6, 2015

Two e-Seminary classes are offered this Winter beginning the week of Jan. 18. Cost is only $200.00 (some partial and full scholarships are now available.)

Becoming Anglican:  The Church in the 17th Century
with The Rev. Kathleen Milligan
meets at 7pm Monday evenings for 8 weeks, starts Jan. 19, 2015.  

Much of how we understand the term Anglican is owed to the developments (both religious and secular) of the 17th Century. The time of the Caroline Divines and the Metaphysical poets; the time of the English Civil War, and, on the continent, the 30 years war. We will be exploring both; reading great poetry, and theology, and exploring Little Giddings and Nicholas Farrar.

The New Testament in its Jewish Context
with The Rev. Kate Campbell
The class will meet on the first and last Wednesdays of the 8 week session beginning Jan 21. The other weeks the classwork will be done asynchonously, with materials set each Wednesday for that week's reading and consideration. At the first session, the class will decide whether to have one or more fixed times for chat during the week.

Most of us understand that practically everyone we know and love in the New Testament was Jewish, but few of us have any idea of what that means. Even more, some of the most influential readings of the New Testament are equally ignorant. Using The Jewish Annotated New Testament (eds. Levine and Brettler), we'll study key elements of the Jewish background read the Gospels and the Epistle to Romans with the aid of its commentary and extensive annotations. Knowledge of the conventional view of the literary development of the Gospels will be assumed but not necessary.
