  • THEO 3110: Torah/Pentateuch:O.T.Gospel

    5.00 Credits
    Seattle Pacific University

    Offerings Prerequisite: UFDN 2000 or 3001. Focuses on the first five books of the Bible known as Torah or Law (Pentateuch). Besides "law," Torah also means "instruction, teaching, story, or narrative." As the first major section of the Bible, Torah is foundational to the rest of the biblical witness. In this course, we will carry out a "close reading" of the text with a view to ascertaining the primary theological emphasis of a narrative that begins with creation and ends with the death of Moses. Reading Torah "as Scripture" informs our approach. Comparing this approach to a primarily "modern" reading will be an important feature of the course. Attributes: Upper-Division, Writing "W" Course

  • THEO 3120: The Former Prophets

    5.00 Credits
    Seattle Pacific University

    Offerings Prerequisite: UFDN 2000 or 3001. Consisting of the first half of the second major section of the Old Testament (prophets), the former prophets contain Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. The stories contained in this extensive segment feature the fortunes and misfortunes of Israel, the people through whom God is attempting to bless the world. An understanding of the former prophets is requisite for understanding the latter prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve), as well as other parts of the Old and New Testaments. In this course, we will carry out a "close reading" of the text with a view to ascertaining the primary theological emphasis of a narrative that begins with Israel's entry into the Promised Land and ends with Israel's removal from that same land. Reading former prophets "as scripture" informs our approach. Comparing this approach to a primarily "modern" reading will be an important feature of the course.

  • THEO 3130: Word as Witness:Prophets

    5.00 Credits
    Seattle Pacific University

    Offerings Prerequisite: UFDN 2000 or 3001. Who were Israel's prophets? Some say they were liberal reformers who wanted to challenge the political status quo and change the world; others believe they were seers who predicted the coming of Jesus centuries before he arrived; still others think they were head-in-the-sand mystics without a clue about the world around them. This course will consider these fascinating, extraordinary individuals in their original historical and cultural setting as well as the ways in which their messages still speak into our world today. Of particular interest will be the prophetic emphasis on ethics: the way they proclaim that God is interested in right behavior, and not only right belief. We will also study the ways in which the prophets do - and don't - talk about Jesus Christ. Attributes: Upper-Division, Writing "W" Course

  • THEO 3140: Bibl Wsdm:Encntr God Evrdy Lif

    5.00 Credits
    Seattle Pacific University

    Offerings Prerequisite: UFDN 2000 or 3001. Wisdom literature is found within the diverse section of the Christian Old Testament known as the "Writings". In the biblical books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs and Job, as well as in the Apocryphal books Sirach and the Wisdom of Solomon, is found a rich distillation of timeless instruction open and available to all people. This course will pay close attention to Wisdom's complex approach to reality. The practical and optimistic perspective of "traditional" wisdom (e.g., Proverbs) will be compared and contrasted with "radical" wisdom's more skeptical and critical perspective (e.g., Ecclesiastes). Wisdom's contribution to our ethical practices will also be highlighted, with the belief that in "becoming a person of wisdom" the serious student must engage not only one's head, but one's entire life.

  • THEO 3220: Prophecy,Power & Politics:Acts

    5.00 Credits
    Seattle Pacific University

    Offerings Prerequisite: UFDN 2000 or 3001. Acts tells the exciting story of the first believers who continued the ministry of the risen Jesus from Jerusalem to Rome. Acts is also one of Scripture's most strategic books, providing the New Testament's introduction to the biblical letters by introducing us to their implied authors and audiences. Our classes will carefully study the Book of Acts with particular attention on how its story of the church's mission fulfills Old Testament promises to Israel, continues the Gospel's story of Jesus, and prepares us to study the New Testament letters in order to fashion a vigorous Christian faith for today's world.

  • THEO 3230: New Testament Letters

    5.00 Credits
    Seattle Pacific University

    Offerings Prerequisite: UFDN 2000 or 3001. The two collections of New Testament Letters-Pauline (Romans-Philemon) and Catholic (James-Jude)-combine to give the New Testament student a balanced understanding of the Christian faith. These letters are among the most frequently consulted biblical writings in formulating what Christians believe and how they should behave in the world. Our classes will seek to clarify the historical, literary, and theological differences between these two collections in order to demonstrate why both are necessary in forming a more robust understanding of the Christian gospel.

  • THEO 3240: Book of Revelation

    5.00 Credits
    Seattle Pacific University

    Offerings Prerequisite: UFDN 2000 or 3001. Instead of being the "problem child" of the New Testament and the "happy hunting ground of kooks and weirdos," this book, if read intelligently and sympathetically, can become the Bible's crown jewel. We will also note how many of its themes have had a profound influence on art, music, literature, and modern psychology. Attributes: Upper-Division, Writing "W" Course
