NT20 Acts I (3)
     The Book of Acts, Kevin Conner

   The archaeological discoveries of the last several decades are verifying
Acts as being a most accurate and exacting writing.  The history of the
development of the early Church is seen also as the beginning  of the
dispensation of the Holy Spirit.  The course further deals with that period

   A study of Paul's letters to the church at Corinth; I Corinthians covers a
variety of themes, including Christian unity, the Lord's table, spiritual
gifts, the resurrection; the theme of ii Corinthians is the Christian
   ministry.  The church had become infected with the evils surrounding it in
a wicked and sensually unbridled city.  The letters were primarily written to
purify the church from partyism and immorality through
   a cleansing of the church from false conceptions of the ministry,
intellectual pride, social evils and other disorders.  This cleansing is
aided by doctrinal instructions, and practical advice advanced by Paul, the
   writer.  The study reveals that Paul apparently had an indication of his
apostleship in mind as he expounds extensively on his own ministry.  One of
the most personal of all Paul's epistles.

NT32 Thessalonians (3)

TH64 Dispensationalism (5)
     Prophecy and the Church, O.T. Allis
     Dispensationalism Today, C.C. Ryrie

   For a hundred years and more, the doctrine has been taught, and is now
widely accepted, that Israel and the Church are quite distinct; that the
kingdom prophecies of the Old Testament refer to Israel, not to the
   Church; that Israel is God's earthly people, while the Church is a
heavenly mystery, unknown to the prophets and first revealed to the apostle
Paul; that the Church is a parenthesis in God's program for Israel, and that
its presence on earth interrupts the fulfillment of that program; that the
rapture of the Church may take place "at any moment" and will be followed by
a Jewish age in which the kingdom prophecies concerning Israel will be
literally fulfilled. The course discusses (pros and cons) the theological
root of these beliefs, which is dispensationalism.

   ministry of the prophet (Eph. 4:11, I Cor. 12:28).  A combination of
lecture, discussion and experiencial learning is employed.  The course
utilizes a two-fold approach in prophetic training.  First, much attention
   is given to Christian character.  Students are encouraged to evaluate
their lives in terms of the 10 M's  (man, ministry, message, morality,
marriage, money, etc.).  Teaching also centers around common mistakes and
wrong attitudes prevalent in prophets.  The second aspect of the two-fold
approach concerns experiencial learning in prophetic utterance with mature,
seasoned ministers teaching, guiding and instructing the students.
