Canon, Creed, Confession, Comparative Theology
Fall of 2011 and will last 14 weeks, Tuesdays at 5 p.m. at Nightbird Books. The class will be taught by Pastor Clint Schnekloth with Jon Amos and Tom Stockland, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Fayetteville.
The concept: All communities can benefit from continued conversation about how Scripture functions as a holy text for community, how the creeds function as a hermeneutical key for reading Scripture, and how being confessional contributes further to being authentic in conversation, and finally how comparative theology opens us to deep learning across religious borders.
Primary texts:
Deep Exegesis: The Mystery of Reading Scripture, by Peter Leithart
Canon and Creed, by Robert Jenson
The Augsburg Confession (and perhaps other Book of Concord texts)
Harvesting the Fruits: Basic Aspects of Christian Faith in Ecumenical Dialogue, Walter Kasper
Comparative Theology: Deep Learning Across Religious Borders, Francis X. Clooney
Open to the whole community.
