One of two foundational chaplaincy/spiritual care courses, designed to help students understand how the contemporary practice of chaplaincy integrates lessons from the human and behavioral sciences with the pastoral practice of chaplaincy as rooted in the disciplines of biblical and theological studies.
Students will be challenged to consider how pastoral practice is responsibly informed by biblical, theological and traditional perspectives. Concepts of hope, community and compassion will be examined. Since the ministry of the professional chaplain occurs in pluralistic society, a course emphasis will be on how to carry an evangelical imperative in a public ministry context.
With the translation of the Torah from Hebrew into Greek, Greek-speaking Jewish communities could now reflect on the applicability and reach of this version of Sacred Law.
This course deals with these two questions:
1. What range of translational approaches were taken to produce a Greek version of the Torah, and what did it communicate as legal document?
2. What do we know about the conception of "Law" held by Greek-speaking Jewish communities?
