New Courses for Fall 2024
ILT’s Christ School of Theology continues to expand and provide new course offerings. The opportunities for students to experience scholarly work at incredible levels of depth and led by distinguished academics bodes well for developing future leaders of the pulpit and the classroom.
New Courses Taught by Dr. Erik Herrmann: Christ School of Theology’s newest Distinguished Professor and Research Fellow- PT 522—Homiletics II – This course is an intensive practicum building on the foundations laid in Homiletics I. Based on a sacramental understanding of the Word, students practice the difficult move from exegesis to sermon, learning to construct sermons that are narratives of Christ himself coming to people to save them. Students present sermons and receive feedback from both instructor and peers.
- HST 836—Interpretations of the Reformation: This is a brand new course and an exciting edition to our historical theology collection as it delivers deep insights into the historiography of the Reformation and explicates various approaches composed to interpret the reformation over the last 500 years. The course structure will implement a small-group colloquium format. We encourage advanced graduate students interested in the Reformation to add this course to their schedule.
- HST 645/745—Luther’s Theology of the Cross: In this new course, Dr. Hein will be exploring the Theology of the Cross as Luther’s fundamental basis for his later theological writings. Additionally, he will be contrasting the Theology of the Cross with earlier and contemporary versions of what Luther deemed theologies of glory in order to aid students in critical assessments and address contemporary issues.
Students interested in taking these courses for continuing education may audit the course for half the cost of regular tuition.
