Urbana Theological Seminary

This fall, Dr. Todd Daly will be offering Theology and Contemporary Issues, a class that focuses on how we apply Theology to current concerns and events. Because this is a class that focuses on applying theological concepts to specific things in the news, it is a little different every time he teaches it! For more information on the contents of the class, email Dr. Todd Daly at [email protected].

This fall, visiting instructor Luke Hersche will be teaching a class based in his doctoral research! The class will focus on how the story of Christ can be found throughout the Bible, focusing specifically on how pastors and teachers can use this approach to scripture to shape their preaching/teaching.

Camelot. Excalibur. The Holy Grail. For more than a thousand years stories of the court of King Arthur have been told and retold as new generations encounter the wonder and glory of these stories of courage, honor, loss, and hope. From medieval allegories, to Victorian moral tales, to the most contemporary stories of Faith in a world of wonders, Christianity has played a changing role throughout these retellings. Join us on Thursday evenings as we explore this history as well as some of the most recent retellings. Email Dr. Green for more information: [email protected]

Did you know that Timothy was in Ephesus when Paul wrote to him? This fall, Dr. Cuffey is offering a class that will explore the letters of Paul to Timothy, and how the city of Ephesus creates a context for understanding these letters. The class will also examine the passages in Acts that are relevant to Timothy's time in this ancient city. A special concern will also be the relevance of these to Christian leaders today. This Clarity in Context class can be taken by anyone for credit or as an auditor--contact Dr. Green for more information! [email protected]

This Year's ISAC tour was, once again, a grand adventure as Dr. Cuffey pointed out Senacharib in stone relief, explained the Code of Hammurabi, introduced us to the carving of the Israelite king Jehu, and so much more! If you have never gone on this trip, we hope you can join us next time!
