The Academy for Faith and Life is kicking off 2018 with two new adult education opportunities this Sunday, January 14.
At 9:30 a.m., you are invited to join Stephen Chester
--ordained in the Church of Scotland and a professor of New Testament at North Park Theological Seminary--for "Reading Paul with the Protestant Reformers."
Continuing our observance of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, this four-week class engages us in an examination of how the insights of the Reformers might be brought forward to help us interpret the Apostle Paul's letters for the twenty-first century.
Then at 11:00 a.m., Robin Lovin--who
previously served as Dean of Perkins School of Theology at SMU; Dean of the Theological School at Drew University; and a member of the faculty at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago--will lead us in viewing and then discussing
the one-hour film An American Conscience: The Reinhold Niebuhr Story.
This one-session, ninety-minute class takes a closer look at Reinhold Niebuhr, who
remains one of the most influential public theologians of our time. Having risen from a small Midwest church pulpit to become the nation's moral voice--an American conscience, as it were--during some of the most defining moments in recent history, Niebuhr and his works continue to influence theological and political thinking today.
