Pastors’ Conference May 4-7

For on-line registration, session descriptions and schedules visit: www.regent-college.edu/pastorsconference

Wonder and Devotion: Bringing Science and Faith Together for the Church Why a conference about science and theology for pastors? One of our evangelical forefathers believed theology and science to be the “twin daughters of heaven.” In fact, during the 19th century twenty percent of the content of one theological journal, The Princeton Review, was of a scientific nature! Only our capitulation to the influence of the Enlightenment which dichotomized faith and science makes this seem strange. You can relax though! We’re not hoping to make every pastor into a scientist. This conference is expressly for non-scientist pastors as well as the geeks! Sadly, the worldview of Modernity and the conflict around the science of origins has led many of us as pastors to stay away from engaging science at all in our preaching and Christian Education curricula, with the consequence that many young people when they encounter science at school and university flounder, lose their faith, or abandon careers in science. Even more importantly, we ourselves, and therefore our people, have robbed ourselves of one of the ‘two books’ by which God has revealed himself. We have dulled the sense of wonder and worship that emerges from the habits of discovering and delighting in science. We hope through this conference to recover that sense of wonder by re-inculcating the inquisitiveness and curiosity that ought to characterize us as persons made in the image of God the Creator who commissioned us to continue his creative work. This will equip us to affirm the work of scientists as devotion, and to invoke fearlessness about discovering all reality in our young people. What’s more, we will as pastors spur our people on in fulfilling what it means to be humans fully alive as we and they live out the first great mission ever given to all humans – the creation or cultural mandate of Genesis 1 and 2. We won’t ignore the controversial matters and we hope to help to equip you for those, but above all this will be about developing a way of being that is the heart of the Gospel which calls us to live in creation and participate joyfully in the new creation.

Spring Session: The Pastors’ Institute

The pastors’ InstituteAt Regent, we believe it’s vital to support those called to pastoral ministry and congregational leadership. The Pastors’ Institute—involving an annual Pastors’ Conference and two weeks of courses in Spring School—is a concentrated modular focus offered to Regent students and those in ministry seeking continuing education opportunities. A core faculty of outstanding teachers will be a regular part of the Institute. Visiting faculty will add their expertise to a wide range of courses focusing on the distinct dimensions of ministry and congregational leadership. We hope the Institute will be 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 University), MTS (Conrad Grebel College, University of Waterloo), DD (Hon.) (Trinity Western University).

Rod has been involved in the fields of counselling and consulting for over 25 years and held various teaching and administrative positions at Tyndale College and Seminary in Toronto. For six 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?

Counselling, Community and Congregational Life In much of the evangelical world there is a separation between counselling, community, and congregational life. The counselling enterprise has become a private sanctioned retreat that has de-emphasized community, with the result that the power of congregational life to bring healing has been ignored or negated. Central to this course will be the assumption that communal paradigms for help are not only more consistent with a biblical understanding of people, but are also more effective. Through the lens of Scripture, sociology, and psychology, this course will invite students, whether they have a call to a counselling ministry or to congregational life, to explore theoretical issues related to the role of community in the process of healing and to develop practical ways to work this out in congregational life.

Bruce was formerly pastor of First Baptist Church in Vancouver, BC, and is presently engaged in writing and in the encouragement of ministers. His books include Know the Truth; The message of Heaven and Hell; and Dynamic Diversity: The New Humanity Church for Today and Tomorrow.

The Letter to the Philippians Philippians is without question the best-loved of Paul’s letters. Several of its statements are among the most-quoted in the Bible. But the letter is, in general, poorly understood as a literary whole, a unified letter with a critical message not only for its writer, imprisoned and facing possibly imminent death in Rome, or his Christian readers in the colony-city of Philippi, but for the people of God in today’s often confusing and threatening world. It will be the aim of our study, through careful exegesis of the text, to uncover that message and expose ourselves to its challenge—that of authentically relating our lives, both personally and corporately, to the supreme reality of all existence, the triune God in the person of Jesus Christ, God incarnate, crucified, risen, exalted, and returning.

Systematic Theology A: Prolegomena, Scripture, the Triune God, Creation, and Providence This course explores the following fundamental themes of Christian theology: theological method and the knowledge of God; the doctrine of revelation; the doctrine of Scripture; the doctrine of the Holy Trinity (including theology proper, or the doctrine of God); the doctrine of creation; and the doctrine of providence. 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.

Note: Students who need this course to fulfill a requirement for their degree must take this class for 3 credit hours.

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.

Conversion and Transformation This course will examine the theology of religious experience, with particular examination of the nature of Christian conversion and spiritual change. The course enables students to think critically and theologically about religious experience in general, but the focus of the course will be the nature and character of conversion. The lectures and readings will demonstrate that a comprehensive experience of conversion is essential for spiritual transformation and a vital piety. Attention will also be given to the theological rationale for programs that foster conversion and spiritual formation. And, as a primary focus, the course will enable students to see how understanding their own conversion fosters self-knowledge and personal transformation. The course will be based primarily on lectures but will also include guided group discussions.

May 10–21, 8:30-11:00amSPIR/THEO6352 or 3 graduate credit hours


The Meaning of the SacramentsThis course is a theological examination of the sacraments and their place in the life, worship, and witness of the church. Attention will be given to the place of ritual and gesture in Christian worship, the biblical basis for the sacraments, the historic debates and controversies, as well as to the more recent ecumenical discussions and agreements. Further, the practice of the sacraments will also be addressed insofar as they reflect theological perspectives and convictions. Particular attention will be given to two questions: (1) the place of the Lord’s Supper in the life and mission of the church; and, (2) baptism and rites of Christian initiation.

Spring Session: Weeks 1&2

World FilmIn this course, we will explore the revelatory kinship of theology and film. Our approach will be historical, studying representative works of international filmmakers whose accomplished use of the language of film—its grammar of light, sound, setting, perspective, and montage—results in motion pictures that have the power to evoke the transcendent, to inspire faith, and to create occasions for divine encounter.

Paul Stevens Professor Emeritus of Marketplace Theology and Leadership, Regent College.

BA, BD, DD (McMaster), DMin (Fuller).

Paul’s primary focus is empowering the whole people of God for service in everyday life and the world. He is a craftsman with wood, words, and images and has worked as a carpenter, a student counsellor, a pastor, and a professor. Among his books are Down-to-earth spirituality; The other six Days; and Work in progress (forthcoming).

Heart, Hands, and Head: Crafts, Creativity and the Spiritual Art of Making Things In an age of mass-produced, machine-made, and computer-generated products, it is vitally important to consider the meaning, theology, and spirituality of things that are hand-made, heart-made, and home-made. Far from denoting something second-class, these terms point to something fundamentally human and deeply Christian. In this course, we will consider a broad range of activities that produce hand-made and heart-made things—ranging from weaving, knitting, homemaking, and wood-working to gardening (and many others). We will examine them biblically, theologically, and vocationally. The professor will be assisted by many guests who, through an interview process, will enable participants to see the connection between faith and work. Each participant will be encouraged to bring something to the class that they have made or to create something during the course.

Richard ToppingSt. Andrew’s Hall Chair in Studies in the Reformed Tradition, St. Andrew’s Hall, Vancouver.

BA (University of Waterloo), MA, PhD (Wycliffe College, University of Toronto).

Theology and Proclamation Training for proclamation suitably focuses on the form and structure of the sermon, the context and person of the preacher and congregation, issues of rhetoric and delivery, and, of course, faithful biblical exegesis. While the development of such artistic, imaginative, and technical skills is crucial to the task of preaching, they can eclipse preaching as a fundamentally theological and spiritual task. The triune God is both the subject of preaching (what it is about) and the active agent in the midst of it, where it is effective for faith and life. This course aims to help students understand and appreciate preaching as a task undertaken with the promise of divine grace and communication, and so as a cheerful and modest act of Christian discipleship.

May 24–28, 1:15–4:15pmAPPL/THEO5851 or 2 graduate credit hours

Richard teaches in the areas of Reformation history, constructive theology, and historical theology. He is ordained in the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and has served as a minister in Ontario and Quebec. Richard has published revelation, Holy scripture and Church and is presently editing another work titled Welcome to the Church: a primer on Christian Faith.

Faithful Medicine: Bioethics and Christian Thought Christians struggle to make sense of modern medicine and its bioethical challenges. Abortion, euthanasia, AIDS and stem cell research continue to make headlines and fuel debate. But less public concerns also occupy us, such as infertility, aging, chronic pain and our neighbour’s unmet medical needs. This course, through the help of interactive case studies, will explore 1) medicine’s new role as a powerful secular institution; 2) ethical methods commonly used in public and Christian debate; 3) theological terms and perspectives that are (or should be) used to support bioethical viewpoints. The goal is to assist health professionals, church leaders and the wider Christian community to think well and Christianly about medicine, and thereby offer reasonable and faithful approaches to bioethical deliberation.

Sabbath KeepingHow can Christians keep sane and faith-ful in this hectic, confusing, technologically mind-boggling, cyber-spaced world? How can we minister to those around us who are overwhelmed by the vexations of contempor-ary life? One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the Sabbath—a day of rest, but much more than that. This course will go beyond Marva’s book Keeping the Sabbath Wholly to explore how the keeping of a Sabbath day enables us to live prudently and joyfully in the present age and to minister to the world around us more effect-ively. Course participants will gain a vision for, a biblical foundation under, and practical wisdom about keeping a weekly Sabbath of ceasing, resting, embracing, and feasting. A renewal of Sabbath-keeping among Christians will transform our lives, renew the church, and change the world!May 24–28, 8:00-11:00amSPIR6181 or 2 graduate credit hours

Spring Session: Week 3

Marva is a popular preacher and speaker for people of all ages and the author of numerous articles and almost twenty-five books, several of which have won awards and been translated into other languages.

Effective Leadership in Turbulent Times: A Christian PerspectiveThose of us who are leaders, or who are aspiring to be leaders, in either the secular or Christian worlds are coping, or may well have to cope, with turbulent times. This course will look at leading through such times, making decisions well, “raising your game,” enabling a team to work well, and using time and energy well. Students will be encouraged to be rooted, radical, reflective, and renewed in order to be effective Christian leaders in the global workplace. The course will draw from the life and teaching of Jesus, the experiences of the prophets and the apostles, the current experiences of Christians in senior leadership roles, relevant books and articles, and from the personal experiences of participants in the class.

Sven SoderlundProfessor Emeritus of Biblical Studies, Regent College.

BA (Toronto), MA (Central Bible College), MCS (Regent College), PhD (Glasgow).

Biblical Exegesis and InterpretationThe purpose of this course is (1) to introduce the student to the 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.

How Then Shall We Live? The Cultural and Political Legacy of Total War: 1914 to the Present DayThe last one hundred years have been described as the Secular Age, the era in which Christianity has been relegated to the margins of the modern Western world. This course explores this social and political relocation of Christianity, and traces the links between our present cultural and political situation and the impact of “total war,” the holocaust, and the mass mobilization of human and financial resources for military ends. Total War was the “invention” of the twentieth century. Its effects were unprecedented, far reaching, and decisive. War has left an indelible mark on consciousness, political dialogue, economic structures, artistic, literary, and philosophical creativity, and social norms and customs. We will consider how late modern Christianity has been shaped by such changes and assess the degree to which the post-war/post-modern world we find ourselves in today offers a unique and challenging environment for Christian mission.

The Arts in Worship? Getting There from HereThere have been challenges in the relationship between the arts and worship throughout the centuries. Yet many churches today desire to incorporate the arts thoughtfully, sensitively, and with theological rigour and reflection. This course will introduce some ways to get that process started. We will examine the role of various forms of art in services of Christian worship. We will also offer theological and pastoral criteria for evaluating the use of the arts in worship, all within the context of trinitarian theology.

OT Book Study: The Book of GenesisWhat kind of texts are we dealing with in Genesis, and what difference should this make to our interpretation of them? Are they myth, or history, or both/neither? Have Christians been right to see what they have seen in these books over the centuries? What are the boundaries of legitimate interpretation? What does Genesis have to say to contemporary Christians and their world? These and other similar questions will provide the focus for our exegetical study of portions of the text.

Tony teaches and writes widely in New Testament studies and theology, with particular interests in Jesus and the gospels, Paul, and the theological interpretation of Scripture. He enjoys music, movies, and sports.

New Testament FoundationsThis course is an introduction to the context, content, and interpretation of the New Testament. A representative range of New Testament writings are read with respect to their life settings and literary forms, and especially in terms of what they teach and envisage concerning God, gospel, church, and creation. Accompanying this is an appreciation of the New Testament in relation to the Old Testament as together comprising the church’s Scripture, and critical reflection upon its application to our complex world. In this way, the course provides a basis for more advanced study in Christian Scripture, theology, and contemporary culture.

Maxine and her husband, Campbell, now live near Canning, NS. They spend winters in Vancouver, BC, where Maxine continues to serve on the faculty of Regent College, working closely with the Christianity and the Arts concentration and supervising creative projects.

Jesus in LiteratureThis course will survey major works of literature from the late Middle Ages to the end of the twentieth century. We will look at direct representations of Jesus, and at indirect representations through embodiments of aspects of Jesus’ character and work in “Christ-figures.” We will also consider ways in which such motifs as “incarnation,” “kenosis,” “atonement,” and “death and resurrection” have been assimilated into literary art. Noting the compelling centrality of Jesus in Western literature of the past, we will be interested in the range of roles assigned to him, from victim to conquering king. We will find Jesus represented (even if in sometimes contorted forms or signal absences) in literature of what has sometimes been termed the “post-Christian” late twentieth century, and on into the twenty-first.

Food: Communion, Community and Creation Eating is one of the most profound ways we are related to each other, to the created world and to God. In this course we will explore, within the framework of Christian theology, some of the biological, ecological, psychological, aesthetic, spiritual, agricultural and economic aspects of what, why and how we eat. The core of the course will be reading, lecture and discussion of the considerable literature dealing with food. But the two-week course, held on Galiano Island, will also provide a living context of cooking, feasting, fasting and gardening together, which will add good spices to the academic victuals.

The Call of the Wild: Poetry and Prose of EarthkeepingIn this course, we will reflect on readings by writers who address the theological and spiritual dimensions of care for the created order, and consider how those writers invite us to change our habits, reframe our assumptions, rethink our theology, and connect our faith with participa-tion in care for the earth. North Americans in particular inherit a rich and conflicted legacy of stories, poetry, drama, and films that represent nature in terms that have deeply shaped attitudes, habits, and public policies. As we read material from Thoreau, Dillard, Berry, Duncan, and oth-ers, we will consider not only what they have to say about issues of urgent public concern, but how they deliver highly charged, often prophetic mes-sages without descending into polemic—how, for instance, poetic devices, imagery, humour, story, allusiveness, and confession serve their purposes.

He has authored or edited over ten books and many articles in the fields of language education and philosophy of education, and travels widely as a speaker at educational events and as a consultant to schools.

Called to Teach: Teaching as a Christian PracticeOur efforts to think about teaching and learning in a Christian manner have often been focused on broad philosophical questions and principles, leaving open the task of relating these to the daily work of the teacher. This course will explore how recent work in various disciplines illuminates the nature of teaching as a practice, and in particular what it might mean to approach teaching as a Christian practice. This work will be drawn from philosophy, sociology, and theology, but will be made accessible to the non-specialist educator, with a focus on how our participation in shared practices relates to our formation and to the life of faith. In light of this work, we will explore together the contours of classroom practice, examining concrete instances of teaching and learning and their relationship to Christian practice.

Decadence, Aestheticism, and Grace: Christian Theology and Fin de siècle LiteratureIn Paris, Oscar Wilde discovered A Rebours (Against Nature), a scandalous novel by the French “deca-dent” writer Joris-Karl Huysmans. This novel—detrimental to the imagination of Wilde—became the “poisonous” book of Wilde’s novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. And yet, the book had a strange ambi-guity. As Wilde narrates, “One hardly knew at times whether one was reading the spiritual ecstasies of some medieval saint or the morbid confessions of a modern sinner.” The goal of this course is to explore that ambiguity. The decadence and aestheticism of literature at the end of the nineteenth century seem to be scandalous antitheses of the Christian gospel. But we will explore how these movements actually share much in common with orthodox Christianity. Thus these works are a kind of “back-handed” wit-ness to the richness of God’s creation, the need for redemption, and the enchantment of the world.

One Priest for the Many: The Theological Themes in the Book of HebrewsWithin the field of NT studies, the book of Hebrews has been seen as a bit of a mystery tome without clear origin or lucid purpose, overshadowed by study of Paul and the gospels, yet with some admirers of its style (which is superior to other NT literature), its lofty Christology, and its inspiring spirituality. Though the last two decades have seen the book “come out of obscurity” in the academy, it is still often absent from the pulpit. This course will seek to prepare the way for its coronation there. Investigating themes like Christ’s essential deity and messiahship, his true and vicarious humanity, his Melchizedekan priesthood, and his atonement will uncover their relevance to a number of debates in contemporary theology, as well as to pastoral matters like salvation, assurance, sanctification, earthy spirituality, and restoring Christ to the centre of the church’s worship and mission.

A Man for All Seasons: How Jesus Meets Us in High Summer, Deep Winter, and Everywhere In BetweenFruit. That’s Jesus’ measure of spiritual maturity. Not vigorous activism or doctrinal precision, but fruit: richness of character, sweetness of temperament, abundance of wisdom—all stemming from abiding with Christ. However, most of us continue to gauge our spiritual success and progress by how much we do or know. Not only does this fail to achieve the intended results, but to some extent it creates the opposite results. We become spiritually stunted and bitter. Fruitless. This course explores Christ’s call to bear fruit, and by implication, seasonality as a model for spiritual formation. This seasonality, rarely applied to our walk with God, provides a missing key to the abundant life Jesus promised. Students will gain insight into the rhythms of their own hearts, and learn how to abide with Christ, the man for all seasons, in deep winter, high summer, and all that lies between.

Writing to Revive Broken Truth: Metaphor, Paradox, and ReversalThis class will focus on reading, writing, and work-shopping poetry. It is designed to be helpful not only to poets, but to non-poets who want to explore ways of making their lives—or their sermons—more open to and expressive of mystery. In our discussions we will hypothesize that poetry is, in a broad sense, the force that blasts us beyond routine into mystery. Through metaphor, paradox, and reversal, it defies our cultural categories, mocks our technical language, quiets our habitual noise, slows our speed, and challenges institutionalized dogma into which Christianity tends to collapse. Jesus was the master of this kind of poetry. We will look at and learn from the narrative of his life, the Beatitudes, and the parables—as well as from the poems of the great masters.

Systematic Theology C: Pneumatology, Ecclesiology and EschatologyAll service of God requires solid theological reflection, consisting of both an informed understanding of Christian doctrine and the ability to view life through the lenses of Christian commitment. By exploring three major foci of systematic theology–the doctrines of the Holy Spirit (pneumatology), the Church (ecclesiology) and last things (eschatology)–in the light of Scripture, the theological heritage of the church, and the contemporary context, this course seeks to develop your expertise as a theologically informed Christian for the sake of your service in the kingdom of God.

The Pastoral EpistlesThis present course will consist of detailed exegesis of the Pastoral Epistles. Close atten-tion will be focused on three areas in particular. First, we will look at the vision of Christian ministry in the letters, both in the portrayal of Paul’s role as an apostle, and in the presentation of what pastoral ministry involves more broadly. Second, there will be detailed consideration of the opponents in the pastorals, and how Paul envisages appropriate response to false teach-ing and division. Third, the debates over the Pauline authorship of the letters will be consid-ered, in the context of both the New Testament and ancient letter-writing. The conventional scholarly views of pseudonymity will be con-sidered, as well as the recent challenges to the pseudonymity hypothesis by Luke Timothy Johnson.

Theology Transposed: Re-Discovering the Gospel through the ArtsThis course aims to show how the arts can contribute to theology—“theology” here understood as the disciplined thinking and re-thinking of the Christian gospel, for the sake of fostering a wisdom that is nourished by and nourishes the church in its worship and mission to the world. This is not primarily a course in the arts, but a course in theology pursued in the company of artists. The student will discov-er that the arts have a unique and irreplaceable part to play in the growth of Christian wisdom: difficult and unfamiliar themes are brought to light and made clearer, and familiar themes opened up in novel and exciting ways.

Wesley, Whitefield, and Edwards: Early Evangelical Spiritual LeadersThis course will look at the early evangelical movement as a school of spirituality that emerged early in the modern period and made a distinctive contribution to the history of devotion by renewing classical Christian themes under the conditions of a modernizing world. Our approach will be to focus on individuals, since early evangelicalism had no shortage of strong personalities and charismatic spiritual leaders. We will look not only at the biographies of these figures, but also at their distinctive teaching. Although the title for the course includes the famous names of Wesley, Whitefield, and Edwards, we will look at several other figures whose contributions were likewise significant to this spiritual renewal movement.

Unsatisfied with an academic career narrowly defined, impacted by the lives of the “least” in society, and disturbed by the systemic injustice in the world, Dave left full-time teaching of biblical languages and Old Testament at Regent College to deepen his understanding of “the view from below” and to struggle with what it means to be with and for the poor.

Solidarity, Resistance, Liberation: The Way of God in the WorldThe notions of solidarity, resistance, and libera-tion express well the trajectories of divine action manifest in the Exodus and the Incarnation. Solidarity captures the idea of “being with,” of standing with, others in their situation of injustice and suffering. Resistance expresses the notion of “being against,” of opposing, the forces that crush and destroy human life and increase suffering and dehumanization. Liberation is a posture of “being for” the other; it signifies the struggle to open up spaces for life, wholeness, and justice. The purpose of this course is to explore these biblical motifs and discuss together the challenges of participating in the divine drama of liberation in our world.

Make Up Your Mind: How to Think as a ChristianAll Christians think, but not all Christians think always as Christians. Yet when Christian A meets issue X and determines to think about it in a Christian way, what is he or she actually to do? What resources should he or she consult, and how should he or she coordinate them with each other? What spiritual factors are involved? And what, finally, is the point of Christian thinking? This course attempts to answer these ques-tions particularly in the context of cultural pluralism and postmodernity.

Revive Us Again: Twentieth-Century American Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism at Home and AbroadThis course will examine the history of Protestant evangelicalism and fundamentalism as they have been manifested in North America and then exported abroad. Most of the empha-sis will be on the era since the late nineteenth century, including the rise of dispensational-ism, the fundamentalist controversies of the early twentieth century, the mid-century divi-sion between “neo-evangelicals” and separatist fundamentalists, the late-century emergence of political fundamentalistic evangelicalism, the spread and influence of Pentecostal and charis-matic Christianity, and current issues regarding how much evangelicalism reflects or challenges contemporary commercial culture and gospels of success. Throughout, we will also look at how many of these issues played out in the arena of missions. We will close with a discussion of the effects of American evangelicalism on world Christianity.

Revelations on the Revelation: An Introduction to the New Testament ApocalypseAlthough the New Testament Apocalypse signals a lifting of the veil of mystery through its very name, readers have often been puzzled, disturbed, or even repelled by Revelation’s exotic imagery and unusual structures. This course will attempt to demonstrate the beauty of this book and its unique place within the New Testament canon and the history of the church through an understanding of its genre, structure, symbolism, and rhetoric. We will also explore the relationship of the Apocalypse to other examples of the same genre. Attention will be given to the book’s historical back-ground, flow of action and overall structure, dominant motifs and symbols, and rhetorical power. We will also consider the various strate-gies that have been adopted in past and present times to understand the Apocalypse, and the uses and abuses of the book by various individu-als and communities.

Introduction to Contemplative Listening: The Foundation of Spiritual Friendship and DirectionScripture resounds with God’s call to hear—Shema. The discipline and gift of listening is foundational to the Christian life of loving God and neighbour. Listening creates a sanctuary within which we may receive God’s Word and welcome the neighbour, and by listening we are shaped as Christ’s disciples. How do we orient toward God’s voice and toward another person in a culture that so loudly drives, seduces, engages, and distracts us? How do we quiet external and internal noise in order to hear? Contemplative spiritual disciplines and practical listening skills aid our listening to God and the hearts of others. This course will offer some basic theory and practices of contemplative listening, which lie at the core of the ministry of spiritual direction and relationships of spiritual friendship.

The Book of ProverbsThis course both aims to introduce the student to the Book of Proverbs and to apply the book’s wisdom to specific areas of life. The introduc-tion will consider, among other things, the who, what, when, why, and how of wisdom. The answer to those questions will engage us in the sage’s epistemology, a definition of his terms “wisdom” and “fear of I Am,” and the identifica-tion of “Woman Wisdom.” The course will also consider the book’s structure and its rhetoric; its doctrines of health, wealth, and prosperity; and its connection to the wisdom of Jesus Christ. The book’s wisdom will be specifically applied, among other subjects, to communication/speech, wealth/money, marriage, and parenting.

Truth Telling by StoryLive story-telling was the original medium of the gospels and remains, arguably, the best medium for relating truth. Can we recapture the power and reality of the eyewitness accounts? Students will memorize five minutes of gospel story and tell it as an eyewitness might have. Using the tools of an actor and exegete, we will create imaginary memories to see what the eyewit-nesses saw and say what they meant. Students will play themselves as if they had witnessed the event. If successful, what we “see” will spark genuine emotion and rich, subtle communica-tion. The resulting authenticity will (hopefully) compel attention and trust. The point is to profoundly experience the Word and pass it on. The students who enroll for credit should be capable communicators already, with some ease and experience before an audience.

In this course, we will develop a foundation for thinking about these and many other questions. After briefly considering the classical perspectives offered by Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, and Luther, we will explore some of the key thinkers of the past century, including Dutch politician and theologian Abraham Kuyper; Reinhold Niebuhr (Barack Obama’s favourite theologian and philosopher); and contemporary British thinkers, Oliver O’Donovan and N.T. Wright. We will also con-sider the visionary insights of the Civil Rights movement and of current movements such as International Justice Mission and Jubilee. This course is for anyone who ever wonders whether law can make the world a better place.

The Relational Self: Trinitarian Insights on What It Means to Be HumanBeing Christian and being human are sometimes seen (or felt) to be at odds. So what does it mean to be human? How can we be our true selves? Do the roots of our authenticity lie within or—mys-teriously—without? This course uses the doctrine of the Trinity as a springboard to understand issues of personhood, de-personalizing views of sin and salvation, and the modern desire for, or addiction to, uniqueness. We’ll draw on a number of historical figures who, like us, found themselves at a time of radical change and social upheaval. Students will gain an understanding of how a relational, trinitarian view of personhood impacts upon much of the nitty-gritty of the Christian life—sanctification, freedom, prayer, deep views of sin, faith in Christ, and our quest to be our truest selves.

Julie Canlis won the Templeton Award for Theological Promise in 2007 for her work on John Calvin, published recently as Calvin’s Ladder of ascent: a spiritual Theology. She is a part-time lecturer and directs Children’s Spiritual Formation in a small Church of Scotland parish where her husband Matt is minister. Together, they are raising four young children in rural Scotland.

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.

Keith is passionate about biblical languages and their application to biblical interpretation in the church and the everyday life of faith. Since 2007, he has taught several sections of Greek and Hebrew at Regent, including the 2008 and 2009 summer Hebrew courses.

An avid reader of the Greek New Testament for over twenty years, Carolyn has added to her formal education by studying with many master teachers. She is able to draw on a robust body of method and approaches to open up their language to her students in new and enticing ways.

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 the 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 encounter the biblical text in class, there will be opportunity to discuss some component disciplines of Old Testament exegesis and to illustrate the value of approaching the text in its original language.

It is essential that students study the first two chapters of the textbook (Basics of Biblical Hebrew, 2nd ed.) and complete workbook exer-cises one and two before the first class. Once regis-tered, refer to the online syllabus for more details about advance preparation requirements.

Introductory New Testament Greek I&IIThis course provides an introduction to the basic elements of Greek in order that students may become readers of the New Testament in its origi-nal tongue. With this objective, the first half of the course will focus on vocabulary and grammar, the second half on the Greek verbal system, especially in its morphology and syntax. The ultimate goal is to enjoy the text itself, and by the end of the course students will begin to translate larger portions of the New Testament. However, as C.S. Lewis wrote in one of his sermons, “this will not, for most of us, happen in a day; poetry replaces grammar, gospel replaces law, longing transforms obedience, as gradually as the tide lifts a grounded ship.”

Regent Summer Term Summer is a time of wonderful possibili-ties for learning, growing, and interact-ing with others. Many activities have been planned to augment your classroom learning and to provide an opportunity to meet other “pilgrims along the way.” Once you arrive, do visit our AtriumInformationDeskstaffed with friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Here you can browse a wealth of information about Regent College, courses, activities, and the greater Vancouver area.

Chapelis 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 tes-timony and praise, exposition and inter-cession makes possible an atmosphere of rich spiritual vitality. Held just before lunch twice weekly in May/June, daily during July, Chapel is always a highlight.

Lunch Our catering prepares nutritious and delectable dishes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at a cost of $4.00 for a complete meal. You cannot get a bet-ter deal in Vancouver! And the communal lunchtime is a wonderful opportunity to share a meal with classmates and professors.

LunchtimeConcertsDuring July, Regent invites guest musicians to play concerts during the lunch hour. From jazz to Celtic harp, classical cello to flamenco nuevo, the variety of musical styles will delight any music lover.

PrayerRetreatsRecognising that prayer is central to our relationship with God, Regent invites you to deepen your capacity to listen and respond to God at one of the two Prayer Retreats offered by visiting and resident faculty. Held at nearby St. Helen’s Anglican Church, the church overlooks the water and moun-tains, and is within walking distance of the beach. Our time together will include worship, teaching, and guided silent prayer. Space is limited, so register early to avoid disappointment. [email protected]

PostmodernUrbanSpaces:ACityTourDavid Ley, Head of the Department of Geography at UBC, leads us on a char-

tered bus tour through Vancouver’s down-town and inner-city districts training our eyes with the living postmodern text of the city. Emphasizing the changing social values of postmodern culture as these are expressed and reproduced in the urban landscape, we can gain a deeper under-standing of how to read cities by their urban landscapes and as a mission field.

The bus tour will take place on a Saturday. Please check our website for the exact date. Space is limited, so register early to avoid disappointment. [email protected]

professor ConnectionsEveningPublicLectures Evening Public Lectures are a hallmark of Regent’s Summer schedule. Offered once weekly in May/June and twice a week in July from 8:00–9:30pm, these free lectures provide an opportunity to hear from a number of Summer Term faculty outside of the classroom.


29

Each week throughout Spring and Summer we take a break from the classrooms to spend a little time getting to know the faculty.

AtCoffeeandDialogue one of our Spring faculty gathers with students and visitors for an informal, honest chat. During July you can sip tea with one of our professors at an afternoon TeaontheLawn.

In Spring we are invited to eavesdrop in on weeklyRoundtableDiscussions with our faculty and visiting session-als who meet to chat through engag-ing topics. And in July, our own John Stackhouse engages 2-3 professors in spontaneous topical conversation for StackhouseandFriends. This intention-ally informal roundtable format draws on professors’ experience in thought-provok-ing discussion and lively debate. At FoodforThought,join a faculty member who will speak informally on a topic that is personally relevant to her/him.

Building BenefitsAs Summer Term students Regent wants you to feel at home. When you arrive you can count on a few perks to make your life a little easier.
