Class Offering: NT and Suffering

I will be offering a class through United Theological Seminary (Dayton, OH) called "The New Testament and Suffering." This will be a seminar-style, on campus, night class. It will run from mid-September to mid-December (Tuesday nights, 6:30-9:20 pm). If you live in the Dayton / Cincinnati / Columbus areas, I'd love to include you!

This class will follow three primary threads: (1) How is suffering represented in the Bible (esp. the NT)? (2) How have Christians perpetrated, participated in, and responded to suffering as guided by New Testament texts? (3) How did the conditions of suffering shape the New Testament and the message of the Gospel?

If you have any questions about the class, please email me at acledonne at united dot edu. If you have general questions about registration, you can email the campus registrar at registrar at united dot edu.
