Pastors’ Conference May 3-6

Leadership poses one of the greatest challenges to pastors today. Many congregations have expectations that their pastors be “leaders,” sometimes in ways that are defined uncritically by the wider culture. Many pastors in North America don’t feel qualified to “lead,” wishing rather to devote themselves to spiritual, or “contemplative” leadership in prayer, study and teaching. Yet, the place of a strategic and missional visionary leadership, in our post-Christendom age still remains in question. What is the relationship of the leadership charisms in the NT to the life of contemplation and communion with the Christ who is at work in the world? Does visionary leadership arising from apostolic and prophetic charisms play a legitimate role? How do we rescue the pastor from the “it all depends on me” syndrome? How do we help leaders of churches in the current cultural milieu of fragmentation avoid inordinate ownership of the ministry, selfish ambition, and pervasive burnout?

This conference will present the liberating understanding of leadership as participation in the life of the missional triune God, living out our union with Christ and his work in the world. While challenging the pastor to live contemplatively towards God and in participation with his life and love, this understanding also invites the pastor into community with other leaders, and the body of Christ of which she or he is a part. These twin communal realities have profound repercussions for pastoral character formation, and for the rediscovery of the polycentric nature of the church, with the prospect of discovering the liberating synergy of a community of leaders gifted with all the charisms that Christ has given his church.

Our presenters will call us to consider what it means to lead in union with Christ and his ministry; to think carefully about the character formation and communal orientation of the pastor; to probe the function of apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic leadership in and beyond the church; and finally, by way of illustration, to empower leadership of the arts in and beyond the church.

Leading with the Leader: Community, Character, and Charisms Rod Wilson, Paul Williams and David O. Taylor, Host: Ross Hastings

Rod has been involved in the field of counselling and consulting for over thirty years. He has held various leadership positions at Tyndale College and Seminary in Toronto, as well as part-time staff positions in two churches, and the position of teaching pastor for a growing church in a Toronto suburb. In recognition of his gifts of leadership and acuity of vision, Trinity Western University awarded Rod an honorary doctorate in 2004.

Paul Williams has held senior leadership roles and helped pioneer new entrepreneurial start-ups in marketplace, church and academy. He brings prayerful and critical consideration, leadership expertise, and a background in economics, political philosophy, and theology to the church’s missional engagement with contemporary culture. He has a passion for the local church and to see it confident of the gospel in the secular public square.

Spring Session: The Pastors’ Institute

The pastors’ InstituteAt Regent, we believe it is vital to support those called to pastoral ministry and congregational leadership. The Pastors’ Institute—involving an annual Pastors’ Conference and two weeks of Spring School courses—is a concentrated modular focus offered to Regent students and those in ministry seeking continuing education opportunities. The Pastors’ Institute offers a wide range of courses focusing on distinct dimensions of ministry and congregational leadership, and is something that pastors can depend on as a regular opportunity for their own personal and professional development.

Rod WilsonPresident and Professor, Counselling and Psychology, Regent College.

BSc (Toronto), MA, PhD (York), MTS (Conrad Grebel College, University of Waterloo), DD (Hon.) (Trinity Western).

Rod has been involved in the field of counselling and consulting for over thirty years and held various positions at Tyndale College and Seminary in Toronto. For five years he was pastor of a growing church in the suburbs of Toronto. Rod has written several books, most recently How Do I Help a Hurting Friend?

Dynamics of Church LeadershipLeaders in church and para-church ministries find that most of their difficulties providing leadership in the Christian community revolve around personal, emotive, and relational dynamics. However, because of the nature of the role, many leaders do not have a place to deal with these issues, with the result that their ministry is hampered and at times damaged. This course, open to those who are in leadership roles or who are training toward that end, will focus on content and process, allowing participants the opportunity to look at leadership from the inside out, explore their own dynamics, and understand how these dynamics will influence their leadership.

A frequent speaker at both secular and religious conferences, her travels have recently taken her to Asia, Australia, and eastern Europe.

Family Violence and the Contemporary ChurchEmploying a combination of lecture, small group discussion and role playing, this course will offer students a window into the prevalence and severity of abuse worldwide, with particular attention given to violence in families of faith. We will focus on appropriate professional best practices for both pastors and others working within congregational or secular work settings. Developing collaborative models for religious leaders to work together with community agencies in addressing violence will be a priority for our discussion. Interwoven into all aspects of the course will be theological reflections and social science data.

Kinetic Christianity: Evangelism and Apologetics for the Third MillenniumHow do we present the never-changing gospel in our ever-changing cultures? How does the church engage postchristian contexts with the gospel of the kingdom? How do we reboot the church from being a static institution to becoming a dynamic missional movement? What opportunities do multicultural societies bring for evangelism and apologetics? What does a gospel-driven church really look like? All these questions and more will be wrestled with in this highly interactive class. Drawing on a host of missiologists, this course looks at the theory and praxis of evangelism and apologetics in the life of the congregation and explores difficult issues about authentically biblical, contextual, and ecclesial forms of evangelism and apologetics.

Pastoral Care for Those who SufferPeople in the midst of affliction always have questions: Why is there suffering in the world? Why doesn’t God stop it? Is he not power-ful enough? Is the Trinity good if God allows such evil in the world? By studying a diversity of texts in this course, pastors and other care-givers will wrestle with their own faith in the face of suffering, gain new insights into God’s character and purposes, and develop means by which to reach out to their afflicted parish-ioners with the grace, compassion, and mercy of God.

Gray Poehnell Career Consultant, Ergon Communications.

BSS (UBC), MA (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School).

Vocation, Work, and MinistryThis course aims to help students answer two fundamental questions about themselves: (1) Who am I? and (2) What should I do with my life? Combining biblical exposition, theology, cultural analysis, self-assessment tools, personal counselling, prayer retreats, and discussion groups, the course is a reflective experience in discernment concerning the way you have been made and the path to which the Creator and Shepherd of your life is leading. While some of the application will concern finding or remaining in suitable employed work, the emphasis will be larger and deeper than finding the right job. The approach of the course is to take the largest possible view of calling or vocation: the invitation of God to live and work wholeheartedly and fruitfully before him.

Biblical Exegesis and InterpretationThe purpose of this course is (1) to introduce students to principles and tools of biblical exegesis and interpretation, and (2) to provide working models for the use of these principles and tools through a study of Paul’s letter to the Philippians and the Old Testament book of Amos. In this way, it is hoped that the course will provide the foundations for a lifetime of serious Bible study.

Andrea SterkAssociate Professor of History, University of Florida.

BA (Barnard College, Columbia University), MTS (Regent), PhD (Princeton Theological Seminary).

History of Christianity IThis course surveys the history of world Christianity from its status as a persecuted minority religion of the Roman Empire to its position of dominance in the civilizations of medieval Europe and Byzantium. We will study not only the emerging western (Latin) tradition but also traditions in Asia and Africa, reflecting the wide geographical and cultural scope of ancient and medieval Christianity. In addition to examining major figures, institutions, and ideas, we will pay special attention to issues of unity and diversity within the Christian movement; the relationship between Christianity and culture; the “losers” as well as the “winners” in theological debates; Christian encounters with pagans, Jews, Muslims, and Buddhists; the roles of women in the church; and the various expressions of spirituality that flourished in the Middle Ages.

Andrea teaches ancient and medieval Christianity at the University of Florida. Her publications include renouncing the World Yet Leading the Church: The monk-Bishop in Late antiquity (2004) and readings in World Christian History: earliest Christianity to 1453 (2004).

John’s Gospel: The Life of God to the WorldFew works in Western literature have impressed the imagination as has the Gospel of John. Long noted for its distinctive character compared to the Synoptics—Clement of Alexandria called it a “spiritual gospel”—it is unique among the gospels for its fascinating, even poetic, tapestry of images and complex, intertwined argument. While there are many themes and emphases to John, this class will work its way through the Gospel from the perspective that Jesus has come primarily to bring the life of the one true creator God into the world he loved.

God’s Word, God’s World, and God’s Mission: Reading the Whole Bible for MissionSome people think that mission began with the Great Commission or on the day of Pentecost. But can we read the whole Bible from a missional perspective? What happens when we do? This course will explore the biblical roots of Christian mission, seeing especially how the Old Testament vision for the people of God and the future of the nations shaped the New Testament concept and practice of mission. We will appreciate the missional relevance of unexpected parts of the Bible and gain fresh perspectives on God’s purpose for God’s world through God’s people.

Chris’s doctorate is in Old Testament ethics, and his books include The mission of God and The mission of God’s people.

Systematic Theology B: Creation, Christology, Soteriology, and AnthropologyThis course explores the following fundamental themes of Christian theology: God’s creation and providence, the nature of human personhood, the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the ordering of salvation. The course will examine the historic Christian teachings on these subjects, how the church came to these conclusions, how these doctrines interact with each other, and why these things matter.

Devotional Poets of the 17th Century: John Donne & George HerbertAn encounter with the devotional poetry of the seventeenth century will serve to quicken your appreciation for literature that springs from a love for God––and feed the flame of your own devotion. Come prepared to engage the poets of the seventeenth century with both heart and mind––with the same kind of wholeness with which they engage the conversation with and about God in poetry. We will look especially closely at the richly textured “Holy Sonnets” of John Donne and at selections from the apparently simple yet very complex poems of “The Temple” by George Herbert. A specialist’s knowledge of English literature is NOT required to do well in this course; more important will be an active interest in investigating not only what the poetry says, but how it says it, and in what contexts.

Mariam has spent much of the last ten years studying the Epistle of James closely, both in seminary and as the focus of her doctoral work. Her focus emphasizes the relationship of theology, exegesis, and the Christian life.

Spinning Gold from Straw: Theology and Exegesis of the Epistle of JamesThis course seeks to introduce readers to the complex theological world of the Epistle of James, guided by the text’s focus on the practicality of the Christian life. The letter focuses on questions of salvation, economics, worship, speech, and community; thus it speaks to the whole of life for every Christian. Students will perform careful exegesis of the text, gain an understanding of the theological priorities of the epistle and how those relate to other texts in the canon, and practise thoughtful application on both the personal and interpersonal levels. In the dialogue between text (exegesis), theology, and application, James can shape our vision of God and his call on his people’s lives.

Spiritual Disciplines: How We Set Our Hearts to Seek GodBookstores display spirituality sections, professional schools offer courses concerning the intersection of spiritual matters with particular professional practices, and churches are responding to a growing demand for guidance in spiritual formation and practice. In the larger culture we have grown increasingly aware that “we are what we eat”–that we are formed by our very practical choices, habits, and practices. How are we making choices in our everyday lives that nourish and fortify us as we follow Christ? The aim of this course is to study Christian spiritual disciplines and their place in our discipleship.

Living Elders in a Dying ChurchAs the ageing of society progresses, the role or lack of role for its “seniors” will become a serious burden for church and society alike. Biblically, the church should see the role of “seniors” as the dynamic of its spiritual health; instead our culture’s hope lies in youth culture. Facing the medical consequences of advancing bodily health, are churches prepared for the rapid increase of “seniors,” who have never been equipped to be “elders?” Such are the challenges and questions of this course.

Among Paul’s books are Calvin and the Calvinists; eternal God; The providence of God; Faith and understanding; Faith with reason; and Calvin: a Guide for the perplexed.

Unifying Heart and Head: A Historical OdysseyA conflict is often experienced between the study of the Bible and of Christian theology on the one hand, and the religious life on the other. This is sometimes expressed as failure to integrate “head” and “heart”. This course aims to address this issue using various models of integration drawn from notable theological figures in Christian history, such as Augustine, Anselm, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards.

Spiritual DiscernmentAn introduction to the art of spiritual discernment, which will enable students to recognize and respond to the prompting and inner witness of the Spirit. The course will provide a model for effective decision-making that will incorporate the wisdom of our Christian heritage. The primary focus will be upon seeking the wisdom and direction of God for critical choices and decisions. Attention will be given to two additional questions: corporate discernment and decision-making, as well as the role of the spiritual director in helping others make wise choices.

Michael heads up the Social Enterprise Incubator at Regent College’s Marketplace Institute. He is married to Sheila and has two grown-up children who live in Guildford, Surrey where Michael is a Licensed Lay Minister in the Church of England. Michael enjoys integrating business and academic research and is passionate about the application of faith to business.

Business as Mission: Engaging with Christian Social EnterpriseThe course is intended for those thinking of starting a Christian Social Enterprise (CSE), helping to develop one, or counselling those doing so. (A CSE is an enterprise that funds its operations through generating income from the sale of goods or services yet doesn’t seek to maximize profits, has other “social” objectives, and consciously seeks to set its aims, strategy, ways of operating and relations with others according to the teaching and example of Christ.) It will appeal to those wishing to question the methods of the profit-maximizing firm, to think about the enterprise from theological first principles and to apply that theological perspective in multiple strategic areas, e.g., product selection, marketing, finance. While the course is not a substitute for business courses, its objective is to provide both a theological foundation for designing a CSE and to show how to integrate theology with practice using a learning cycle with design thinking as the linchpin.

Writings of the Soul: Themes in Spiritual AutobiographyChristians have traced the intimate details of their souls’ relationship with God at least since Augustine’s time. Ranging from his articulate soul-searching in Confessions through Julian of Norwich’s visions, and Teresa of Avila’s ecstasies, right up to more contemporary writings such as those of C.S. Lewis, Roberta Bondi, and Andrew Krivak, this course will explore eight profound spiritual autobiographies. In addition, particular themes of the spiritual life found in these soul-writings will be highlighted. Thus, for example, we will look at transformation in Augustine, acedia in Kathleen Norris, and desire, joy, love, and discernment in others. The primary aim of the course is to enable a greater awareness of, and intelligent engagement with, the consolations and desolations of the Christian’s spiritual life, but students will also enjoy these intimate introductions to these famous soul-writings and will be free to read and explore the books and themes to which they are most drawn.

Living with Beastly Empires: The Book of DanielWhat kind of text are we dealing with in Daniel, and what difference should this make to our inter-pretation of the book? Have Christians been right to see what they have seen in this book over the centuries? What are the boundaries of legitimate interpretation? These are some of the questions this course will address, as we seek to understand what this “book of Exile” has to say to the church and to the world of the year 2011 and beyond.

Theology of CultureWith the disappearance of the structures of a Christian culture in the modern and late modern Western world, Christians face anew the perennial question of the relationship between the church and her surrounding culture. How is it that the position of the church has changed so drastically over the past several centuries? In what sense can and ought we to speak of the church providing a distinctive culture? How should Christians speak into the cacophony of voices in contemporary society? In this course we will study past and contemporary theological models to examine these and other questions. In so doing, we will analyze the various theological issues that are at stake and develop a distinctly ecclesial approach to the theology of culture.

Mapping Gender, c.1780-1900This course is designed for those who are asking questions about identity, gender, sexuality, and theology. As a class we will consider how one culture understood masculinity and femininity as social and relational categories, as ideas, and as cultural constructs. Our aim is to explore how themes such as gender roles, motherhood, fatherhood, singleness, gender stereotyping, and authority were mapped in late-Georgian and Victorian church and society. Through a challenging and in-depth historical study of the period c. 1780-1900, this course seeks to shed fresh light on many of the issues which preoccupy us today. As we encounter a time period qualitatively different from our own, contemporary presuppositions will be re-assessed, challenged and re-articulated. In this way the course deliberately seeks to foster critical acumen, imagination, and historical perspective.

History of Christian DoctrineIn an age suspicious of the past it is all the more important for the church to be aware of her tradition. It is through a loving connection with the church of all times and places that today God provides us with an identity in Christ through the Holy Spirit. This course, therefore, explores the history of the doctrine of the church as it has taken shape, both in the thoughts of individual theologians and through the creeds, confessions, and decisions of councils and synods. The course not only presents an overview of the history of Christian doctrine, but also examines some of the most seminal theological writings that have shaped the church throughout her history.

Gardening the City of GodThe biblical story begins in a garden and ends in a city, but that movement in the story has sometimes been misunderstood to mean that humanity can and should divorce its cultures from the agriculture that supports them. A closer look, at both Scripture and the contemporary world, requires us to develop a much richer and more subtle understanding of the relationship of garden and city. This course is an attempt to explore that neglected territory, by giving students an opportunity to learn from several locations and resource people while developing a biblical and theological understanding of garden and city. This class will be take place in three locations: Galiano Island, Vancouver’s East Side, and the A Rocha Canada Brooksdale Centre in White Rock, BC. In all three places, students will live, attend class, and garden—both literally and figuratively—as they seek the welfare of Creation in the city.

Truth, Beauty, and Imagination: Christian Apologetics in a Postmodern ContextThis course aims to reassure, encourage, and resource all those engaged in apologetic ministries, including parish clergy, parachurch workers, Christian academics, and lay people with workplace ministries. It explores how we can use reason, emotions, and the imagination to convey the rationality, reliability, and delight of the Christian faith in the contemporary cultural situation. We will consider topics such as the challenges posed by the New Atheism; how to use words, images, and stories effectively; apologetic resources; how to construct apologetic addresses; and how to engage questions about faith winsomely and effectively. This course will be ideal for those engaging in apologetic ministry, but will also be helpful to any who want to deepen their own grasp and appreciation of their faith. No prior knowledge of apologetics is required or assumed.

All that Jazz: A Christian TakeJazz music provides an intense and vivid reminder of key themes in Christian faith and life: the importance of knowing the “standards,” the centrality of freedom and improvisation, passing the lead from one player to another, and the dynamic interaction among players and audiences. All of this is just part of what we might call “faith jazz.” In this course we will study jazz and its history, and biblical discipleship through lectures, discussions, video and audio clips, live music in class, readings, interviews, and field trips to the Vancouver International Jazz Festival.

This course is designed for managers, professionals, pastoral staff, and home-makers who seek to take their souls to work. We will develop a theology and spirituality of work by studying biblical narra-tive, reading the ancient classics of Christian spirituality, and interacting with the latest research from leadership, management, neuro-science, and psychology. Our learning environ-ment will be highly dynamic—incorporating group presentations, case studies, solitude, silence, and conversations. From this course, you will gain a rhythm of action and reflection that will transform your workplace and society.

Haggai and Zechariah“Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets” (Hebrews 1:1). Haggai and Zechariah ministered during the time when a remnant of Israel had returned from exile in Babylon and when the Temple of the Lord needed to be rebuilt. Haggai challenged his contemporaries to tune their ears to the conversation that God was having with them through the circumstances of their lives, and to recommit themselves to put God first by rebuilding his Temple. Zechariah’s intriguing visions and ringing pronouncements burst the bounds of his own time to lay a conceptual and theological foundation for the Coming One who would forever surpass the Temple. This course will explore the original meanings and on-going significance of these books for Christians today.

Paul was a seminary teacher and pastor of churches in Sydney and Adelaide, before becoming Bishop of North Sydney. He is the author of a number of books, including commentaries on Mark, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, and Revelation.

Chris has served in the pastorate overseas (France) and in Canada (BC); he also serves as Director of Pastoral Care at New Jersey’s only state gero-psychiatric hospital. He has ministered in Asia, Africa, South America, Europe, the Middle-East, Canada, and the United States, and is author and editor of a number of books, including Worshipping with the Church Fathers (2009).

Power and Weakness: Second CorinthiansPaul wrote Second Corinthians in the winter of the year 56, which happens to symbolize the cold attitude of the church to its founding apostle. The church itself was divided over issues of morality, money, and support of Paul versus very impressive, newly arrived preachers. Paul’s aim in writing the letter was to unify the church ground-ed in the apostolic faith of Christ crucified and risen and to secure their reconciliation with him. Of all Paul’s letters this is his most passionate and personal. We will read this letter together with opportunity for considerable “hands on” experi-ence in careful handling of the text, whilst at the same time entering into the original highly-charged emotional setting.

Spirituality in the Life and Thought of the Church Fathers“Spirituality” has been a hot topic recently. In this course we want to explore together a specific type or model of Christian spirituality practised by Christians living from roughly the third to the seventh centuries ad. How, for example, did these early Christians pray? Were there other key spiritual disciplines that formed part of the rhyme and rhythm of their spiritual lives? How did they deal with temptation? What was their under-standing of Christian character? Who were the “desert fathers”? What was their particular con-tribution to Christian spirituality? How can the insights of these early Christians be translated into the context of the modern world? What pos-sible mistakes did they make that may be avoided by later generations of Christians? These and other questions and issues will form the heart of the course.

Billy Graham and the Evangelical TraditionThis course will examine the interaction between Billy Graham and his times. Though we will pay attention both to the man and to the age, the main focus will fall on the interaction between them—how Graham turned the times to his own purposes and how the times made his purposes possible. A closely related secondary goal is to think about Graham’s relevance for the faithful witness of the church today. What did he do right? What did he do wrong? How can his ministry in the 20th century inform our ministry in the 21st century? The course will involve daily lectures, common discussion of the required texts, and an independent research project.

It will consider capitalism both as an economic system and as, arguably, the dominant ideology of our age. The course is designed to meet four major objectives for students: (1) To develop a deeper understanding of capitalist economic thought and its historical and ideological origins in both the Enlightenment and the Christian faith; (2) To appreciate how compelling the logic of capi-talism is even in the face of the widespread criti-cism that has been directed at it in recent times; (3) To explore the ways in which capitalism functions ideologically in modern culture and as such seeks to colonize and influence all areas of culture, beyond the commercial realm, includ-ing the church, the family, and the polity; (4) To consider and develop what a transformative engagement of the Gospel with modern capital-ism might be.

Devotion to Jesus in Earliest ChristianityThis course articulates beliefs and convictions about Jesus’ significance, and the religious practices in which Jesus featured so centrally. In this course, “Earliest Christianity” refers to Jesus-believers of the first few generations (to mid-second century). We will probe the earliest Christian texts looking for how Jesus features in beliefs and devotional practices, with a special focus on practices in gathered worship settings. We will also engage the con-tinuing body of recent scholarship and contro-versies on these matters.

Science and Christianity: Retrospect and ProspectThis course examines critical histori-cal episodes in the interaction between Christianity and science from the sixteenth century to the present. A major goal is to show how deeply embedded in specific cul-tural situations are all “encounters” between Christianity and science. A second goal is to subvert the notion that talking about any religion-science issue (including “creation” and “evolution”) is a simple matter. A third goal is to suggest Christian strategies for a more fruitful interchange between science and faith. From this course, students should take away both enriched historical under-standing and better theological balance for approaching critical questions relating sci-ence and Christianity.

Christ and the Poets: Theology and Modern LiteratureOver the past century, Christian theology has experienced a vigorous revival of the doctrine of Christ. This course will focus on the depiction of Jesus Christ in the literature of late modernity and on the orthodox recovery of Christology in the same period. Through the study of five writers who span the theological and cultural spectrum–Emily Dickinson, Fyodor Dostoevsky, W.H. Auden, Flannery O’Connor, and Czeslaw Milosz–we will explore the background to the renewal of Christology and key theological and cultural impli-cations that have followed it. In addition to works by these five fiction writers and poets, our readings will include selections from Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Hans Urs von Balthasar.

The Moral Fit: A Fresh Look at the Relationship of the SexesIn a time of considerable confusion in matters of human sexuality, marriage, and the family, Christians and Christian leaders in particular need a deeper, more theologically grounded under-standing of how the sexes “fit” each other than today’s mainstream accounts offer. The course will approach the question of what man and woman mean to each other, their children, society, and the church from a variety of methodological angles. Fresh readings of core biblical passages and of important voices of the theological tradition, as well as encounter with stimulating art and engage-ment with empirical data will offer new insights to the participants, deepen their understanding, and renew their pastoral enthusiasm to engage the challenges that we face as women and men, singles, couples, and parents today.

It is in this redemptive motion that we are brought to worship, which emerges from our acknowledgment of God’s redemptive power within our lives.

Writing with Scripture: The Gift of Enigmatic Text In this workshop, we will examine key distinctions between Greek and Hebrew attitudes towards words in general. We will also consider the con-sequent status of written texts, especially sacred texts and those texts that serve as explications/interpretations/commentaries of such scriptures, including rabbinic midrashim. We will pursue what it is we mean (or, perhaps, should mean) when we characterize a text as poetic. Thereafter, we will attend to examples from a long tradition of poetry that has developed as an imaginative examination of biblical narratives. Along the way, we will attempt poetic compositions of our own (probably in prose) in response to various brief and enigmatic scriptural passages, seeking to under-stand mystery as an invitation and a gift.

Owning Poverty: A Transformational Spiritual JourneyThis course takes a Christian spiritual formation approach to the exploration of the crushing human poverty experienced in our world today. A theology of poverty requires a posture and epistemology of poverty of spirit. Until poverty is taken into our-selves, it is not a truth we can really know, although we might acknowledge it as an undisputed fact or recall statistics of injustice in our world. As pov-erty is allowed to engage us internally, our mode of engagement with the poor shifts from distant empircism and observation, to identification and incarnational compassion. As we engage hands, heads, and hearts in this course, our desire is that participants will come to better understand poverty (spiritual and physical poverty, their own poverty and others) and experience God’s heart and bless-ing for the poor. We want students to internalize biblical truths to facilitate Kingdom transformation in themselves and the world.

Changing Signs of Truth: The Influence of Culture on ChristianityWhy did people in 16th-century England blacken their teeth with pitch, whereas today they spend millions on teeth-whitening strips? Why did early Christians leave forty-one images of Noah’s Ark in the catacombs but fail to sketch a single cross? These questions and many more will be addressed in this course, which provides an introduction to semiotics, “the science of signs.” We will focus on the way signs of Christianity have changed through the millennia—signs such as celibacy, atonement, and Eucharist—discussing how semi-otics and its heirs (structuralism, deconstruction, and cultural materialism) explain such changes. Our course will explore the question: resigned to the unalterable truth of salvation through Christ, how do we know when to re-sign Christian doc-trine in order to communicate that Jesus is as relevant to someone with a twenty-first-century aesthetic as he was to a third-century ascetic?

The Fiction of C.S. LewisWhen C.S. Lewis turned his pen to fiction, he did not cease to be Lewis the Christian phi-losopher, Lewis the medieval scholar, or Lewis the literary critic. Lewis’s fiction also bears the mark of his early years—the loss of his mother, the nightmare of World War I combat, as well as intense experiences of Sehnsucht, the long-ing ache for paradise. We will explore together the many layers of Lewis’s fiction, reading The Pilgrim’s Regress, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, and The Silver Chair. Through lecture, readings, journals, discussion, and an interpretive essay, students will learn to under-stand and appreciate more fully one of the great minds, and great souls, of 20th century litera-ture.

Grace and Play: Christianity and the Meaning of SportThis course explores two related questions: “what is the meaning of sport in modern Western culture?” and, “how should Christians seek to engage with it?” Tracing the interactions between Christianity and sport from classical times to the present, the course will develop historical and theological perspectives on an often troubled relationship. Is sport a gift of God or a form of idolatry? Do sports build character? Are there models of Christian engagement that avoid the extremes we often find in professional sports? Is it possible to love God and love sport at the same time? Can sport be used in ministry without losing its distinctive quality of “play”? Examining individual case studies as varied as Augustine of Hippo and Lance Armstrong, the course aims to throw fresh light on an important area of popular culture. Ultimately it seeks to unite Christian reflection with Christian action, taking sport out of the trivial and into the sacred.

An enthusiastic reader and teacher of biblical Greek, Carolyn uses a wide variety of teaching methods to help her students grasp the basics of the original language of the New Testament.

Introductory New Testament Greek I&IIIn this intensive course, students learn the foun-dational vocabulary, morphology, grammar, and syntax they need in order to translate large por-tions of the Greek New Testament by the end of the summer. The pace is rapid and the workload is heavy, but many students find the immersion experience to be richly rewarding.

Introductory Old Testament Hebrew I&IIThis intensive course introduces the basic morphology, syntax, and vocabulary of Biblical Hebrew, laying the foundation for a lifetime of reading the original language text of the Old Testament. Upon completion, students will be able to read most prose sections of the Hebrew Bible with use of a standard lexicon. The core assumption of this course is that knowledge of the original languages is essential for faithful biblical interpretation. Therefore, as we encoun-ter the biblical text in class, there will be oppor-tunity to discuss some component disciplines of Old Testament exegesis and to illustrate the value of approaching the text in its original language.

June 27–August 12, 8:00am–1:00pmLANG 510&511 6 graduate credit hoursMaximum Enrolment: 30 credit students, auditors welcome.

Note: It is essential that students study the first two chapters of the textbook (Introducing Biblical Hebrew, by Allen P. Ross) and complete the exercises in chapters one and two before the first class. Once registered, refer to the online syllabus for more details about advance preparation requirements.

Note: It is crucial that those students who register for the course prepare ahead of time by memorizing the Greek alphabet and reading through the first seven chapters of the textbook by Bill Mounce (The Basics of Biblical Greek, Zondervan, 2009, 3rd ed.) before the first day of class.

Technology, Wilderness, and CreationThis course will use an eight-day voyage in an open rowing/sailing boat as an occasion for study and reflection on our relationship to God and creation. The trip will be in the Gulf Islands—wild or rural places which have been tenuously preserved (through isolation and much local struggle) from the development that is transforming much of the region. The course will also provide occasion to reflect prayerfully on the nature of place and pilgrimage in the Christian life and will draw especially on the writings of those many Christians whose own understanding of God has been focused by the experience of voyaging in the sea. No previous sailing/rowing experience required.

Regent Summer Term Summer is a time of wonderful pos-sibilities for learning, growing, and interacting with others. Many activities have been planned to augment your classroom experience and to provide an opportunity to meet other “pilgrims along the way.” Once you arrive, do visit our Atrium Information Desk staffed with friendly and knowledge-able volunteers. Here you can browse a wealth of information about Regent College, courses, activities, and the Greater Vancouver area.

Chapel is foundational to our life at Regent College and you are warmly invited to participate in the worship life of Summer Term. Many students and faculty have found the mingling of testi-mony and praise, exposition, and inter-cession makes possible an atmosphere of rich spiritual vitality. Held at 11:00 am twice a week in Spring Session, and daily during Summer Session, Chapel is always a highlight.
