This course explores Christian hope in its personal, corporate, and cosmic dimensions through listening to the witness of the Scriptures and the early church, and through critical engagement with contemporary conversations about eschatology and hope. The course begins with an exploration of the biblical roots of Christian hope in the eschatology of the Old Testament and the rise of apocalyptic thought, and through an overview of the eschatology of Jesus and of the early church. This will provide a basis for further exploration of topics such as death and life after death, the resurrection of the body, the question of time and eternity, Millennialism and interpreting the book of Revelation, the parousia and last judgment, heaven, hell, universal salvation, purgatory, the future of the earth, and the contemporary in-breaking of hope in the church and in the world.
The cross is a symbol of suffering, injustice, loss and death, and yet, also a symbol of the hidden power of God to save, liberate and transform human life. Following the spiritual theology of Paul and the narrative of the gospels, the cross is not only a theological symbol but a path, a way - a critical and necessary element of the spiritual journey which requires a dying in order to experience resurrection life. In this course, we will explore this way of understanding the cross as it is develops in Paul, Augustine and Medieval Spirituality. We will then focus on Luther’s ‘Theology of the Cross’ as it develops out of this theological and spiritual way. We will then study Calvin’s doctrine of the Christian life in Book 3 of his Institutes and how it incorporates elements of Luther’s thought. We will then explore the Reformed tradition and how theology and spirituality meet each other, how they emerge in Schleiermacher and Barth, and a final section on 20th century theological and spiritual exemplars of this tradition outside the mainstream.
