This is a eight-week, two credit hour course in which students will read and listen to Tim Keller resources to study his preaching and teaching ministry. The course will be designed as a seminar style course with an emphasis on reading, listening, and discussion.


This two credit hour course provides a broad overview of the supernatural questions that Christianity must think about.  Elements of this course include: (1) what the writers thought about the reality of spiritual entities loyal to,and in rebellion against, the God of Israel;

(2) how the intersection (positive and negative) of spirit beings in the human realm propels the meta-narrative of biblical theology; and (3) how this theology helps the student deal with questions of supernatural events today.

The purpose of this course is to demonstrate the necessity and reward of interpreting biblical content in light of the writers’ ancient cultural, religious, and intellectual frame of reference and how that interpretation affects one’s view of reality today.
