Description
This series is an exercise in Spiritual Theology and seeks to demonstrate the relational nature of Christian discipleship as portrayed in John's Gospel. Since John's Gospel has always been counter-cultural, as interpreted by such reformers as Augustine, Luther, and Kierkegaard, its rebuttal of classical and gnostic cultures continues to challenge us today as we face post-modernism's question of 'doing theology' the traditional way. Lectures include:
- Why the Word of God?
- What is the Truth behind the Gospel?
- Exploring the Human Heroic Tradition
- What is your Christian Identity?
- What is Implied in Contemplating the Gospel of John?
