How We Got Where We Are: Evangelicals and Recent History
Mike Wise, Ph.D.
Room 275 Eden Prairie campus
$10
This seminar is a mini-course on recent church history. The focus is on theologically conservative Christ-followers, often called "evangelicals." These are people who hold the Bible as God's fully authoritative, inerrant revelation of truth for life and faith. How did we become what we are today? A comparison of modern American evangelicals with those who called themselves evangelicals in 1830 shows surprising continuities and discontinuities. For one thing, no one in 1830 was a "dispensationalist," though that is a leading theological perspective among evangelicals today. No one in 1830 believed in a rapture or imagined a Jewish return to Palestine to create a new state. Virtually all evangelicals believed that the world was getting better and better, and that within a reasonable time, Christians would capture the world for Christ and he would return: the kingdom already here! There would be no millennium; the new heaven and new earth would begin immediately. What happened? Come and find out!
Promises for Israel and the Land
Max Frazier
Room 285 Eden Prairie campus
$10
By using a series of maps, we will briefly examine the history of the modern State of Israel, seeking to better understand how we have come to this moment in time. Then we will turn to the Scriptures and follow the promises God made to the Patriarchs of old concerning the land of promise. And we will trace those promises through the teachings of the prophets to the close of the Old Testament.
