Intercultural Disciple Making with Dr. Evan Burns
Join Dr. Evan Burns on Jan. 19-21, 2025, in Clarkston, Georgia, for his course on Intercultural Disciple Making. In this class, Dr. Burns will help students think about how to make disciples in a way that is faithful to the historical confessions, without compromising with hyper-contextualization techniques. His experience as a Missionary in Thailand will further help students think through penetrating different cultural value systems with the gospel. Listen to Dr. Burns introducing this course here.
Biblical Language Courses
There are excellent opportunities for students to grow in their proficiency in the Biblical languages this semester. Professors Decker, Ebert, Emadi, and Wilson will teach live classes via Zoom, facilitating discussion and interaction. Additionally, Professor Emadi will teach Theological Latin II for students in the ThM program and students taking Latin as an elective.
Additional Core Course Work
In addition to the in-person modular course with Dr. Burns in January and the biblical language courses taught via Zoom, students can take additional core classes to complete their degree programs.
ST25 with Sam Waldron includes a treatment of both the person and work of Christ. The treatment of the person of Christ includes study of the deity, humanity, personality, and sinlessness of our Lord. The treatment of the work of Christ includes study of the necessity, nature, and extent of His atonement. Other topics covered in the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith will also be surveyed. This course also includes a study of the backdrop and overview of the ordo salutis. The study of the backdrop will ground the doctrine of salvation in the Christian’s election and representative headship in union with Christ. The study of the overview will biblically expound the major steps in and aspects of the application of salvation.
BI11 with John Miller seeks to ground students with a thorough introduction to the Old Testament. The course will focus on issues of “general introduction” (i.e., text, canon, history, etc.) and of “special introduction” (authorship, date, purpose, theme, etc.).
PT32 with Brad Bevers will help biblical counselors implement particular methods and practices, utilizing the sufficiency and sacred Scriptures.
