With changes to General Education requirements come new opportunities in the College of Christian Studies. We’re offering several elective options each semester for students to fulfill their second-tier Bible/Religion Gen Ed requirement (after Bible Survey and before History and Theology of Christianity). These courses are numbered BIBL 215, RELI 215 and BIBL 315.

Offerings next year include two studies of women’s influence throughout church history. Read the descriptions below, and consider adding these courses to your 2016-17. Both are taught by Jeannine Graham.

Fall 2016 RELI 215-B — Women in Church History
Explore what we can learn from the journeys, struggles and contributions of women throughout church history as they sought to express their Christian faith, exercise their gifts of ministry and examine their sense of calling despite challenging obstacles. Biblical, historical and theological perspectives will be explored along with examining ways in which both women and men today can partner together in ministry in contemporary contexts.

Spring 2017 RELI 215-A — Women’s Voices in Contemporary Theology
Historically, theology has been formulated almost exclusively by men. Within the last 50 years a burgeoning number of female theologians have emerged in academic circles to give fresh expressions of the core tenets of Christian faith and practice that take stock of women’s perspectives and life experiences.

What critiques are being raised toward traditional theologies? What constructive proposals are being offered? How have factors of gender, race and social location influenced the emergence of Latina, womanist and feminist theologies? What theological assumptions underlie traditionalist, complementarian and egalitarian views of women’s roles in the church and society?

More than a dozen additional elective courses are also being offered. Consult the online schedule for listings. For more information about course offerings in the College of Christian Studies, contact your CAP coach, faculty advisor, or talk with Paula Hampton (phampton@georgefox.edu), administrative assistant in the CCS.

Interested in teaching or working in the fields of nursing, counseling or business abroad? Come to a special presentation about NICS (Network of International Christian Schools), a missions agency that reaches the world for Christ through international Christian education, tonight (Monday).
