BIBL 604: Biblical Theology: Genesis As a Starting Point
3.00 Credits
Eastern University
An exploration of the theological themes of Genesis. Themes to be discussed include: creation, redemption, the nature of God, covenant, law, kingship, divine violence, righteousness, the people of Israel. These themes will be discussed in conversation with three perennial biblical theological issues: What was the author of Genesis trying to say theologically to his audience (historical dimension)? How did the author construct Genesis to communicate that theology (literary dimension)? and How do the themes of Genesis reverberate dynamically elsewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures and in New Testament (canonical dimension).

BIBL 617: Gospel of John
3.00 Credits
Eastern University
The Gospel of John presents an interpretation of Jesus' life and mission that is consistent with that of the Synoptic Gospels, even though it differs greatly from Matthew, Mark, and Luke in vocabulary and in the selection of Jesus traditions. Through chapter-by-chapter discussions, the distinctive literary and theological categories of the Fourth Gospel will be introduced. We will look at Jesus' encounters with different individuals, the "I am" sayings, Jesus the Son as the revealer of the Father who sent him, the characteristics of the community of faith, the role of the Holy Spirit, Jesus as the messianic King in the Passion narrative, and the meaning of Jesus' death as his glorification. Throughout these discussions, literary features such as dualism, Jewish symbolism, and rhetorical irony will be pointed out and explained. Bible elective.
