Finishing Seminary

I can't believe I'm already saying this, but I just registered for my last semester at seminary. It looks like I can actually meet the requirements in two years (63 credits in all) and hopefully go overseas in a matter of months... Here are FIVE (of the 6) classes I'm taking:

Evangelism

An introduction to the nature and practice of evangelism with emphasis on its biblical, theological, and historical roots. Special attention will be given to the rationale and context for evangelization.

Old Testament: Wisdom, Poetry and Prophets
A continuation of OTS 5110 with a focus on the Latter Prophets and the Hagiographia.


Christian Ethics

A systematic study of Christian ethics taken as a theoretical and practical discipline and offered at an introductory level. Attention is given to biblical and theological foundation as well as to current issues relevant to the witness of the Church in society.

Anthropology
Selected insights from the field of cultural anthropology are surveyed and applied to cross-cultural ministry. Social structures, customs, thought forms, and social change are studied in light of the missionary's change-agent role.

International Church Planting
A treatment of international church planting in its theoretical and practical dimensions. Students will be equipped to develop a model for church planting that is theologically driven and contextually appropriate. The case studies and models to be discussed and critiqued will be those that have arisen in international contexts.

I might've bitten off more than I can chew, but I'm so excited!

Who are you taking OT with?
I have Dr. Cole for OT1 this semester. I was hoping to take him for OT2 in the spring, but it doesn't work with my schedule...soo I'm going to try to take the hybrid course.
