SUMMARY:Lecture - Professor Paul Foster
DESCRIPTION:Special offer – buy a 2023/24 season lecture pass\, and attend all four lectures for the price of three. \n\n\nMeet the Apostolic Fathers: Christianity in the first half of the Second Century (live lecture)\n\n\n\nVenue:\nSt Mark’s Church\, Leeds Road\, Harrogate (& Zoom option)\nDate:\nSaturday 7th October 2023\, 10.00 – 12.00 noon with breakfast available from 9.30 am\nTickets:\n\nGeneral admission: £8\nStudent admission: £5\nUnder 18s: free\nZoom admission: £5\n\n2023/4 Lecture Pass:\nBuy tickets to all 4 lectures for the price of 3\nTickets for just this lecture:\nThis event has now passed\n\n\n\nDuring the first and second centuries a group of miscellaneous Christian leaders wrote down their understanding of the meaning of Jesus Christ’s life\, death and resurrection. These authors were considered by later Biblical scholars to be the next generation of Apostles and as a result were named The Apostolic Fathers\, and their works are considered by many to be the most important collection of post-New Testament writings. Indeed a number of these texts were considered for inclusion in the New Testament\, but later rejected. Their obvious significance stems from the fact that they are the first Christian writings produced outside the New Testament Canon and as such contain an essential insight into the development of the early Christian Church and Christian thinking. Much Christian Doctrine came\, not from the New Testament\, but from the writings produced by the early church and in particular the writings of the Apostolic Fathers. Therefore\, these texts are crucial to an understanding of the shaping of Christian thought and Christian doctrine. \nThis lecture is the rescheduled March lecture. \nSpeaker Bio \nProf Paul Foster’s says: \nMy motivation for undertaking theological studies was to be able to read the Bible in its original languages. Although achieving this goal was not something that was quickly realised\, the benefits have been enormous. Reading the New Testament in the very words that the authors penned opens up new horizons of understanding\, it helps one see the original writers’ concerns more clearly\, and brings the world of the New Testament alive. \nI enjoy working across a range of New Testament and Early Christian literature\, since that permits a holistic view of the development and emergence of the early Jesus movement. In particular in relation to the New Testament\, I have worked on pre-gospel sources such as Q\, and the M source although I am sceptical that the latter ever existed as a coherent source. In relation to the New Testament writing a long-term interest is the Gospel of Matthew\, and several letters of Paul including Colossians and the Thessalonian epistles. Furthermore\, the phenomenon of wider gospel literature\, known as the non-canonical gospels\, is also another area that has fascinated me as a window into the piety of early believers. I have written extensively on the text known as the Gospel of Peter\, as well as a range of other non-canonical gospels. \nA final major area of interest in my academic biography is collection of writings known as the Apostolic Fathers. These writings reflect the emergence of structures that became foundational in the early church. The writings of Ignatius and Polycarp depict early Christianity in the first half of the second century. \nTogether these interests permit an overview of Christianity in the first two centuries of its existence.

SUMMARY:Re-reading the Gospel of John : A 6-month journey in 2023/24 [FULLY BOOKED]
DESCRIPTION:Re-reading the Gospel of John : Invitation to a 6-Month Journey in a Group with a Guidebook\n\n\n\nVenue:\nOnline (Zoom)\nPre-requisites:\nA copy of David Ford’s commentary\nTimes:\nEvenings\nDates:\nSunday or Thursday evenings from Oct/Nov to Mar/Apr. \n\nWeek 1 [John 1:1-18]\nWeek 2 [John 1:19-51]\nWeek 3 [John 2]\nWeek 4 [John 3]\nWeek 5 [John 4]\nWeek 6 [John 5]\nWeek 7 [John 6]\nWeek 8 [John 7]\nWeek 9 [John 8]\nWeek 10 [John 9]\nWeek 11 [John 10]\nWeek 12 [John 11]\nWeek 13 [John 12]\nWeek 14 [John 13]\nWeek 15 [John 14]\nWeek 16 [John 16]\nWeek 17 [John 16]\nWeek 18 [John 17]\nWeek 19 [John 18]\nWeek 20 [John 19]\nWeek 21 [John 20]\nWeek 22 [John 21]\n\n\nRegister:\nRegistration now closed for 2023/24\n\n\n\n\nThe Gospel of John is profound\, intriguing\, fascinating\, and mysterious. \nOne of the most insightful and gripping attempts to do it justice is Prof David Ford’s The Gospel of John – A Theological Commentary published two years ago. \nUnlike most commentaries\, this can be read as literature. The style is conversational: it works not verse by verse\, but chapter by chapter. You can read a review of Prof Ford’s book in Church Times. \nOver six months we will read a chapter per week of David Ford’s commentary and meet on-line once a week to discuss it with fellow learners for an hour.
