| CD 1645 01 | RIGHTEOUSNESS-BEG OF GODS CREATION | Spring Semester 2017-2018 |
An investigation of the notion of “righteousness” in Paul's letters, in writings of Luther and other Reformers, in recent literature, and in the activity of the contemporary church. By interpreting and studying others’ interpretations of this key theological concept, the course inquires into what it means to understand and live the gospel as God’s disruptive and merciful in-breaking. Employing righteousness as lens for considering God and God’s relationship to the world, the course further explores related biblical imagery, the nature of good works, the shape of Christian worship and spirituality in differing contexts, and the practices of Christian communities. |

| HT 0801 01 | LUTHERAN CONFESSIONAL WRITINGS | Fall Semester 2017-2018 |
A study of the confessions of the Lutheran Church as set forth in the Book of Concord. The documents of the reforming movement, viewed in the historical settings, are explicated in the light of their witness to the centrality of the gospel of justification by faith. Consideration is given to the contemporary importance of this witness for the life and mission of the Lutheran Church in a post-secular age. A central question of the course focuses on what it means to confess today in ecumenical engagement, in culturally diverse situations and interfaith contexts, and how that confession is shaped by those contexts. |
