SMT5531HF
This course explores the doctrine of the Trinity as hermeneutic and heuristic for a
theological understanding of religious diversity. After briefly outlining various
Christian theological approaches to religious diversity/pluralism, we will examine
how various theologians have reflected on religious diversity from a Trinitarian
perspective.

WYB5531HF
This course will introduce students to the study of conversion in ancient Mediterranean traditions, with a particular focus on understanding conversion in early Christianity. Students will read and discuss a range of primary sources from within Judaism, including both biblical texts and those from the Second Temple era (e.g., Joseph and Aseneth), from Graeco-Roman religion and philosophy (e.g., Apuleius’ Metamorphoses, biographies of philosophers), and from the New Testament (case studies from the Gospels, Acts, and Paul). This comparative approach will allow students to set conversion in early Christianity more fully in its ancient context. It will also enable them to relate the primary sources explored to methodological issues in the study of conversion as it has developed in the social sciences in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries (e.g., does conversion exist in all traditions or only some? Is it essentially the same in different contexts or does conversion itself change? Is conversion primarily an individual or social phenomenon? Are converts primarily active or passive?). In addition to this inter-disciplinary dimension, the exploration of a range of New Testament case studies will raise theological questions about the nature of conversion within Christianity (e.g., are there normative elements in Christian conversion?).

KNP5331HF
This course is intended to deepen students' knowledge of Luke-Acts, to increase the effectiveness of the preaching of class members and to prepare them to teach others to preach faithfully and effectively from texts in Luke-Acts. The course will focus on learning and/or creating appropriate and broadly teachable methods of moving from text to sermon, as informed by materials in Luke-Acts The Gospel of Luke and its companion volume, the Acts of the Apostles constitute more than a quarter of the New Testament as a whole. These writings also have provided the source material for a proportion of the preaching of the Christian Church which cannot be accurately estimated but is certainly very large. Luke-Acts has also provided almost the entire framework from which the Church year was created. (The chief exception is Epiphany.) It therefore has a key role in the life of many Christian traditions. While it cannot be argued that the creation of the Church year was an aim of the author of Luke-Acts, consideration of the way Luke uses and arranges time may be one useful lens with which to examine this work and also to link to contemporary listeners to preaching, especially in traditions which follow the church year.
