Daniel: Notes for Bible Study Groups, Part 4

Small Group 2Drawing from her own study of Daniel, the knowledge gained while serving as a teaching assistant for Prof. Iain Provan’s Regent College course on Daniel, and the insights gained through talks Carl Ellis gave at an InterVarsity conference, Kathy Cooper has compiled study notes for InterVarsity groups exploring Daniel. These notes are designed to be “plug and play.” While we’ll make some further study suggestions for those with extra time, these notes are designed to provide the basis for leading a thoughtful discussion about how Daniel applies to graduate student or faculty life even if a group has little extra prep time. These notes were designed for leading an inductive bible study discussion, but can be adapted for various bible study contexts. This is the final post in the series. For the first entry, click here. For the second, click here. For the third, visit this link. 

ESN is glad to share material by experienced InterVarsity staffers for campus groups this year; for more on what we’re sharing on the blog and why, see our fall blog lineup preview post. [Read more…] about Daniel: Notes for Bible Study Groups, Part 4

Three Things Christian Scholars Can Learn from Glen East

Issue 80 is Image‘s 25th anniversary issue. It features artists under 35. Cover Design: Kathy T. Hettinga and Jordan Grove.

Thanks to the generosity of Image: A Journal of the Arts and Religion, I got to spend a half day at Glen East, a workshop Image sponsors every year. The experience was rich with conversations and presentations about intertwining the life of faith and the life of art.

The virtues, disciplines, and choices of faithful art-making are often similar to the things that sustain faithful scholarship. Here are three patterns Christian scholars can study from Glen East:

1. Practicing Hospitality

Glen East was a deeply hospitable place. I could tell in the way the staff invited any new attendee to come for a half day free of cost, in the way they encouraged those of us who came to stay and enjoy dinner together, and in the way the participants welcomed me and conversed with me (credit here is also due to the local church, since my church put me in touch with a fellow parishioner who made me feel profoundly welcome).

Being a scholar and a teacher is rich with opportunities for hospitality: inviting people into a new classroom, a new subject, a new set of experiences. What are some great examples of hospitable teaching and research that you’ve seen?

2. Inviting a community into your work
