Faith and the Hiddenness of God
Teacher: Craig Thompson
|
Location: Sanctuary
|
-
This class will explore the relationship between our faith in God and the enigmatic ways that He reveals and conceals himself. The discussion will focus on God's revelation of himself as recorded in the Bible, the various ways that prominent Christian theologians have understood his self-hiddenness, and the implications for our faith and spirituality as we seek to love and follow a God who "moves in mysterious ways."
Craig Thompson is a PhD candidate in Biblical and Theological Studies at Wheaton College. He is actively involved with the Missions Committee and church softball.

In its biblical context, this summation of the Mosaic law offered wisdom for daily life and promised shalom for the future. In what sense did Christ fulfill this law, and how does Reformed doctrine and worship address it to our day? What implications does it have for social as well as personal ethics?
Arthur Holmes, a retired philosophy teacher, has both taught and written in ethics. He regards teaching as his life’s calling.
