S EVENTH- DAY A DVENTIST T HEOLOGICAL S EMINARY 2 S EVENTH- DAY A DVENTIST T HEOLOGICAL S EMINARY 3 CLASS OBJECTIVES The primary objectives of this class are to: . This course is designed to familiarize the students with the theological and political people and issues involved in the English Reformation and the rise of Puritanism. On the side of theological history emphasis will be placed on the role of the English Bible, the struggle for political control of the English church, and the movement of popular piety and liturgy from sacramentalism to Bible study, preaching and fellowship. On the political side the role of Henry VIII and his offspring, as well as the 17th century dictatorship, parliaments and Stuart dynasty connections will be the main focus. Conscious connections will be made with ideas and structures that most impact Seventh-day Adventism such as Sabbath-keeping, preaching and religious liberty. HOW MUCH TOTAL TIME INVESTMENT FOR THIS CLASS? Advanced theological education is no ‘cake-walk’, nor is it intended to ‘wear out the saints’. Designed to immerse the learner in deep theological study and introspective reflection, seminary course expectation is to challenge the student by examining his/her own premises against the study, research and inspiration of biblical scholarship. This will take intentionality and time on your part. Course load is guided by the expectation that students will spend a total of 45 hours of course exposure to earn 1 hour of academic credit. That translates into 90 hours invested for a 2-credit class, and 135 hours for a 3-credit course. Students are advised to spend their time accordingly to meet course requirements and deadlines. Following is a rule of thumb to help guide your reading, research, and writing for Seminary courses: • Average reading speed 15-20 pages/hr. • Average writing speed 3 hr./page • Exam preparation 4-8 hours Based on these averages, requirements for this class will take the average student the following: • Required reading (4 books) 40 hrs. • Reading reports 3 hrs. • Take-home exam 8 hrs. • Primary Reading Project 15 hrs. • Sermon prep & delivery 24 hrs. • Class attendance 30 hrs.
