Description:
What was happening in Christian history, and what was being written after the close of the New Testament? This course is a follow-up to last semester’s “Seminar in Bibliology”, and offers an introduction to the best in early Christian literature from circa 95 – 430 A.D. You’ll find much of this material to be surprisingly relevant to the situation the church is in today.

“Believers didn’t choose to live in an America that has become post-Christian, but to paraphrase Tolkien’s Gandalf, that was not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. If we are going to work successfully to redeem the time, we first have to understand it. That’s why the Areopagus is so vital to the life of the local church in the Atlanta area. It calls Christians out of our complacency, and teaches us how to think well about the relationship among faith, history, culture, and the permanent things. If Christ’s people are going to endure, even thrive, in the coming darkness, we will need to gather around lighthouses like the Areopagus, to be enlightened by truth and warmed by fellowship.”
