Understanding Youth Ministry
Dates: TBA
Location: TBA
This basic course looks at the period of youth and the person of the youth minister, as well as the ministry to which youth themselves are called within church and society. Attention will be given to the theological themes implicit in today’s social, psychological, and cultural trends. How can youth ministry transform, rather than simply reproduce, these dynamics? 3 semester hours.
SPRING 2014
Bonhoeffer, War & Peace
Dates: TBA

This course blends the disciplines of peace studies, theology, and ethics to bring the life and thought of martyred pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer into conversation with the genuine dilemmas of Christian conscience around the problems of war and peace in a time of totalitarian politics and the horrors of the Holocaust. Particular attention will be given to Bonhoeffer’s New York experience and how it helped form and inform his final resistance to European fascism. Prerequisite: P 126 or T/TS 101. 3 semester hours.
