It will serve as your roadmap once you begin your T studies, enabling you to plan each year as you move forward towards graduation. All of Summit’s programs will equip you to serve in what we often refer to as the “people-helping” professions. We have graduates that serve in local churches as pastors, worship directors, counselors and teachers. We also have grads that serve in the not-for-profit sector, both here in Canada and globally. Others have combined their Summit degree with another course of study and are serving as registered clinical counselors, education assistants, and first-responders in many communities in our province. Whether you are interested in music, counseling, pastoral leadership, not-for-profit leadership, cross cultural studies or our one year Omega Global program, you will discover that we have designed a program that will equip you for your chosen calling. Summit’s graduate studies faculty will help equip those with an undergraduate degree to continue life-long learning in the field of Biblical studies, and enable some to fulfill the requirements of credentialing with the PAOC at a graduate level. As well, our unique relationship with Trinity Western University provides an opportunity for students to study at Summit for one or two years, and then transition to one of Trinity’s degree programs. At Summit, we seek to combine a quality academic experience with seasons of spiritual discipleship, personal mentoring and professional development. All of these dynamics occur within a vibrant and supportive Christian community. You will make friendships here that will last a lifetime, and discover a faculty and staff that take a personal interest in each student on campus. If you have any further questions, or would like to meet with one of our faculty, please don’t hesitate to contact us – or better yet, come up and visit our campus. We would be pleased to meet with you and discuss your education and career plans. May God continue to guide and confirm His calling on your life and future direction. Wishing you every success.

  • BC's Faith-Based Postsecondary Institutions
    Made In B.C. – Volume II A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia B.C.’s Faith-Based Postsecondary Institutions Bob Cowin Douglas College April 2009 The little paper that keeps growing I had a great deal of fun in 2007 using some of my professional development time to assemble a short history of public postsecondary education in British Columbia. My colleagues’ interest in the topic was greater than I had anticipated, encouraging me to write a more comprehensive report than I had planned. Interest was such that I found myself leading a small session in the autumn of 2008 for the BC Council of Post Secondary Library Directors, a group that I enjoyed meeting. A few days after the session, the director from Trinity Western University, Ted Goshulak, sent me a couple of books about TWU. I was pleased to receive them because I already suspected that another faith-based institution, Regent College in Vancouver, was perhaps BC’s most remarkable postsecondary success. Would Trinity Western’s story be equally fascinating? The short answer was yes. Now I was hooked. I wanted to know the stories of the other faith-based institutions, how they developed and where they fit in the province’s current postsecondary landscape. In the ensuing months, I poked around as time permitted on websites, searched library databases and catalogues, spoke with people, and circulated drafts for review. A surprisingly rich set of historical information was available. I have drawn heavily on this documentation, summarizing it to focus on organizations rather than on people in leadership roles.

  • HOM/TH6/702 – the Holy Spirit & The
    HOM/TH6/702 – The Holy Spirit & the Renewal of the Church Jason Byassee Spring 2020 Description: The descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, transforming bewildered disciples into apostles, is the birth of the church. Yet the doctrine of the Spirit has often been neglected in western theology. The rise of Pentecostalism has rejected this rejection, so that now it is difficult to do theology without sustained attention to pneumatology. And yet even in this Pentecostal revival of attention to the Spirit, actual churches are often neglected. The living, breathing, temple of the Holy Spirit is almost a distraction in constructing doctrine. Let’s change that, shall we?! This course will attend to the history of the dogma of the Spirit in the ancient church, examining Basil, Gregory Nazianzen, and Augustine. We will then turn to renewed 20th and 21st century attention to the Spirit in dogmatic theology. We will read Amos Yong together on the rise of Pentecostalism. Then we will attend to local churches in Vancouver and see what is to be learned about the Spirit by talking to our neighbours, perhaps especially those most challenging to our presuppositions. The course is part dogmatics, part journalism, part reimagining our own ministries and theologies in light of the Spirit who confuses language, teaches speech, melts division into love, and prays that the kingdom would come soon. Competencies 1-to articulate the stakes and the decisions of the ancient church on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit 2-to narrate well the 20th and 21st century revival of the Spirit in doctrine and practice, especially Pentecostalism’s role in that revival 3-to attend to living, breathing churches in our midst now 4-to articulate and defend a pneumatology for the sake of one’s own doctrine and practice Assignments 1-Present in class on some key pneumatological passage in the bible and how this became part of the patristic pneumatology of the ancient church.

Isgrigg Christian Chapel (Tulsa, OK) Presented at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies Introduction Howard M. Ervin, a Baptist and Pentecostal scholar, paved the way for other scholars to defend the Pentecostal faith in the academic world. During the last half of the twentieth century, charismatics, evangelicals and Pentecostals scholars have debated the nature and function of Spirit baptism. Early in the debate, Howard Ervin offered a view of Spirit baptism that centered on Luke’s unique pneumatology in Luke-Acts and meaning of the term “filled with the Spirit.” Ervin’s work, These Are Not Drunken as Ye Suppose (1968), was one of the first books to enter the scholarly debate from the Pentecostal position.

  • Pentecostal Experience and Hermeneutics
    Pentecostal Experience and Hermeneutics By: Roger Stronstad Writing about the Holy Spirit a century ago, the German theologian Hermann Gunkel contrasted the experience of the Spirit between the so-called primitive church of apostolic times and the church of his own day. Of the experience of the Spirit in the Apostolic Church he observed: “At issue are concrete facts, obvious to all, which were the object of daily experience and without further reflection were directly experienced as effected by the Spirit.”l But what was true of the primitive church’s daily experience of the Spirit was not true of the church in Gunkel’s own day. He admits: We who live in a later age and do not as a matter of course have analogous experiences on which to draw can only grasp the primitive, apostolic view of the Spirit by proceeding from his activities as reported to us and by attempting to conceive the Spirit as the power calling forth these activities.2 Thus, Gunkel sees the church of his day to be handicapped in its ability to understand the apostolic witness to the Holy Spirit because it lacked any analogous experience of the Spirit. In the century between the time when Gunkel wrote and the present the modern Pentecostal movement was born, and in the 20th century millions of Christians now as a matter of course do have analogous experiences on which to draw for understanding the primitive church’s experience of the Holy Spirit. Concerning the Pentecostal movement and its understanding of the apostolic witness to the Holy Spirit, the Baptist theologian, Dr.

  • THE ROLE of EXPERIENCE in the INTERPRETATION of MIRACLE NARRATIVES in LUCAN LITERATURE Biblical Studies Robert R
    Robert R. Wadholm, “Interpretation of Miracle Narratives” THE ROLE OF EXPERIENCE IN THE INTERPRETATION OF MIRACLE NARRATIVES IN LUCAN LITERATURE Biblical Studies Robert R. Wadholm, Trinity Theological Seminary Presented at the 36th Annual Meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies Various rationalists of the past and present have viewed biblical and modern-day miracles as propaganda, superstition, and foolish contrivances of a premodern worldview.1 The Gospels and Acts have been considered historically unreliable because of their numerous accounts of miracles.2 A number of conservative evangelical theologians and scholars have similarly voiced their disbelief in modern miracles, signs, and wonders.3 However, a growing number of evangelicals are becoming aware of the importance of modern miraculous experiences in evangelism.4 An increasing openness to modern experiences of miracles has led to a reassessment of the role of experience in interpreting the Bible. A holistic hermeneutic is being developed that more fully appreciates the role of experience in the interpretive process. Traditional Christianity has often emphasized the importance of salvific experience in hermeneutics, while ignoring or denying the role of miraculous experiences. The experiential miracle narratives of Luke-Acts have become a sort of key to assessing the role of experience in biblical interpretation. Developing a Holistic Hermeneutic Advocates of modern miracles have developed a holistic hermeneutic which articulates a four-principle method of biblical interpretation: presuppositions, context (exegesis and explication), organization (biblical and systematic theological analysis), and application.5 When interpreting the miracle narratives of Luke-Acts, each of these four principles requires some sort of dialogue with experiences (both modern and ancient).
