Lenten Study Series: The Eucharist and the Presence of Christ

2/18/2018

The Christian faith has been shaped by centuries of debate, controversy and struggle. Today most of these controversies are long forgotten and only vaguely understood. What was all the excitement about? Does anyone still care? Should we care?

Join us this Lent as we begin our "Great Debates of the Christian Faith" series with one of Christianity's greatest debates: the nature and significance of the Lord's Supper.

It will be led by David Wagschal, D.Theol.

Sunday, February 25 What's All the Fuss About?
Sunday, March 11 The Body of Christ?
Sunday, March 18 Worthily We Partake?
We'll meet in the sanctuary shortly after coffee hour (approximately 11:30am).

Luther and the West Course

10/3/2016

Free Online Course

Massive Open Online Course on Luther
Source: Luther Reading Challenge Posted by Sarah Wilson on 29 Sep 14:09
Prof. Christine Helmer, an eminent Luther scholar at Northwestern University, is offering a MOOC entitled "Luther and the West." It's a free online course open to anyone who has an internet connection! There are 36 lectures in total discussing the history of ideas of Luther's that have been hugely influential in the modern West and taken to the rest of the world. Luther is recognized today as the originator of many of the most significant ideas that continue to affect and shape who we as modern people are and how we see the world and ourselves, for better and for worse. In the first section, we will explore why Luther thought the Bible was the most important volume for everyone to have and read. Included here will be a careful consideration of Luther's anti-Judaism, which contributed to Western antisemitism and some of the greatest horrors of the twentieth century. In the second section, we will talk about the idea of freedom and how Luther's understanding of freedom in Christ affected the way modern thinkers understood what it means to be human in community. Important in this section is the consequential contradiction between freedom and slavery in Western thought and their co-existence in Western societies. The third section will be all about the many complicated relations between religion and politics.
