THEO 506 Spiritual Formation

This is a graduate level course on developing the character of Christ. It’s designed to address the gap that exists between knowing about Jesus Christ and being like Jesus Christ through the practice of the spiritual disciplines. An in-depth study of the character of Christ is done through exegesis of relevant Biblical passages with the goal of relying on the Holy Spirit for the formation of Christ’s character in the student. Emphasis is placed on the role of the Holy Spirit, effective prayer and biblical meditation. Other personal and corporate disciplines are introduced.
