    3.00 Credits
    Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

    David C. Hester; J. Bradley Wigger In this course, students will examine the practice of teaching and, in particular, teaching for faith and the life of faith. The Church understands that there are "ordinary means of grace" given to the Body of Christ as "practicesof faith" and the means of growing in the life of faith. Teaching is one such practice by which Scripture may be studied and learned, the traditions of the church examined and put into practice in contemporary life, and children and adults equipped to participate in baptism, the Lord's Supper, worship, and life together in the community of faith. Using a practical theology methodology the class will explore the practice and art of teaching through historical review, contemporary contextual analysis, and examination of learning and teaching theory and practice. Ultimately, the class will work toward practical wisdom that will enable students to discern gifts of teaching in themselves and others, to identify excellence in the art of teaching, and to suggest ways by which a community can encourage its members in their practice of teaching toward ever greater excellence and value for the church's life together and God's missionto the world. This course fulfills the Teaching Ministry requirement for the Master of Divinity program.
