New Classes Starting Soon!

February 16th to May 4th

This semester we are offering a different format to our school. There will be two separate six-week classes on Monday evenings. Each class will be six weeks long from 6:30pm to 9:00pm and include a mixture of video lectures from Dan Juster and additional material and discussion by Tom Blake. The classes are not intended to merely be a lecture/video format but a class that allows the students to engage with the material.

1st 6-Week Session: February 16th - March 23rd

Messianic Jewish Theology

     6:30 - 9:00pm
 
This class will discuss the main issues of Messianic Jewish Theology and the often-overlooked Hebraic cultural contexts for interpreting the Bible. The emphasis will be salvation, law and grace, Israel’s election and relationship with the Nations, and Eschatology; and how is Messianic Jewish Theology similar and/or different from the various Christian and Rabbinic Jewish interpretations of Scripture including:

• The foundation of Torah and the continuity of the biblical covenants
• The Prophets and their application of Torah and proclamation of the Messianic Hope
• The Gospels and life of Yeshua
• The interpretive issues of Acts & the Pauline Writings
• Difficult Biblical Passages and Discussion of the Messianic Jewish Movement
• Messianic Jewish & Gentile practice
• Response to Rabbinic Judaism

2nd 6-Week Session: March 30th - May 4th Israel, the Church, & the Last Days

• The eschatological hope of the prophets in light of Israel's failures 
• The return of Israel from exile
• The return of the Messiah
• Judgment on the Nations
• The defeat of Israel's enemies
