Director’s Class

Spring 2012 – Reading the Gospels, Part Two

Handouts from last semester’s “Reading the Gospels, Part One”:

  • Outline of Matthew and Mark
  • Outline of Matthew, Mark, and Luke
  • The Director’s Wednesday lunchtime class will continue with “Reading the Gospels, Part Two. Offering the second of two parts in this sequence, this class will focus on the gospels as literature and will once again place the four gospels alongside each other to recognize both the distinctiveness and richness of the four canonical gospels. the class will meet weekly beginning on January 25 and will cover the gospel narratives from the Apostle Peter’s profession of faith in Jesus as the Christ through the death and the resurrection of Jesus. Outside reading in the gospels is recommended, but not required.

     

    Offered weekly on Wednesdays, period five (11:45 – 12:35)
    January 25 through April 4 in the classroom at the Christian Study Center
    Taught by Dr. Richard V. Horner, Executive Director
    For UF and SFC students only. Lunch served


    Every semester the Study Center’s Executive Director offers a class or discussion group designed to help students think through the intellectual challenges created by the intersection of Christian faith and learning in a university setting. The group’s discussions focus on issues created by the students’ own course work, questions raised by the Center’s classes, and challenges raised by Scriptural texts that emphasize the centrality of the mind in a Christian understanding of human experience.

    Learn what you can, but cultivate Christian skepticism. It will keep you free - not free to do anything you please, but free to be formed by something larger than your own intellect or the intellects of those around you.
