SUMMARY:TRS - Paul Robinson
DESCRIPTION:At this week’s Theological Research Seminar\, Paul Robinson will be presenting\, “The Syriac Reception of Nicene Orthodoxy: Translating Jacob of Serugh’s Homily\, ‘On the Council of Nicaea’” \nRead the abstract and his bio below. \nAll are welcome to attend in Camelford Hall (room 226) at McMaster Divinity College at 1:00pm or via livestream at the link below: \nJoin the Livestream\nPassword: z00m (Note that the password has zeros rather than “o”) \nAbstract\nThis Syriac poet-preacher Jacob of Serugh (451–521) wrote over 700 poem-homilies (memrē)\, of which roughly half survive\, and many of which remain untranslated. In this paper I highlight insights and questions from my own working translation of Jacob’s memra On the Council of Nicaea\, with the aim of providing greater insight into the Syriac reception of Nicene Orthodoxy. I consider Jacob’s interpretation of Nicaea in light of two earlier figures\, Ephrem the Syrian (d. 373) and Theodore of Mopsuestia (350–428 AD)\, both of whom were \nfamiliar to Jacob and influential in the Syriac-speaking churches. \nBio\nPaul Robinson is an Anglican priest and a doctoral student in historical and systematic theology at McMaster Divinity College. Paul is particularly interested in the poet-theologians of the early Syriac tradition\, especially Saint Ephrem the Syrian and Saint Jacob of Serugh. He and his wife Kristin live in Hamilton with their three young children. \nAbout TRS\nThe MDC Theological Research Seminar (TRS) is a bimonthly gathering for all MDC students and faculty. TRS meets from 1:00 PM to 1:50 PM on alternating Mondays\, and includes about thirty minutes for the paper presentation and twenty minutes for discussion. \nAll advanced degree students are invited to present a paper and share your research with your colleagues. TRS is an excellent opportunity to “test drive” a paper you will be presenting at an upcoming conference and receive helpful feedback on your current research projects. Thinking about submitting an article to a journal and want some interaction first? TRS will provide it. Just published an article or an essay and want to share it us? TRS is an excellent opportunity to broadcast it. \nThis year the organizing committee consists of Dr. James Dvorak\, Dr. Phil Zylla\, and Dr. Gord Heath. To submit a paper\, contact a member of the organizing committee. \n

SUMMARY:TRS - Dr. James Payton
DESCRIPTION:At this week’s Theological Research Seminar\, Dr. James Payton will be presenting\, “The Impact of the Council of Nicaea: ‘Already/Not Yet’” \nRead the abstract and his bio below. \nAll are welcome to attend in Camelford Hall (room 226) at McMaster Divinity College at 1:00pm or via livestream at the link below: \nJoin the Livestream\nPassword: z00m (Note that the password has zeros rather than “o”) \nAbstract\nFrom the vantage point of 1700 years\, we can recognize the impact the 325 Council of Nicaea had on the development of the Christian church: it became the first ecumenical council and propounded what would become the first “fixed formula” creed of Christianity. This paper seeks to situate both the Council of Nicaea and the creed it propounded in their historical setting\, recognizing that the participants did not and could not anticipate the impact the council and the creed would have. \nBio\n \nDr. Payton joined the faculty of McMaster Divinity College in 2021. He is Professor Emeritus of History at Redeemer University\, where he taught Eastern European history and Church history. Before that\, he served eight years as a pastor. Jim has also taught at Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia)\, St. Stephen’s College (University of Alberta)\, Evangelical Theological Seminary (Osijek\, Croatia)\, and Matthias Flacius Illyricus Faculty of Theology (Zagreb\, Croatia). \nHe has been extensively involved in ecumenical and interfaith activities in both Eastern Europe and North America. He served as Executive Secretary (1998–2006) and as President (2006–2011) of CAREE (Christians Associated for Relationships with Eastern Europe)\, a UN-endorsed NGO which worked for peace\, justice\, and reconciliation in and for the region for more than forty years. He served as member (2006–2021) and Christian chair (2008–2011) of the National Muslim-Christian Liaison Committee. He has a wide range of academic specializations in history and historical theology\, including the history of Eastern Europe\, the intellectual history of Eastern Orthodoxy\, the Reformation era\, and a long-standing special interest in Patristics. \n  \nAbout TRS\nThe MDC Theological Research Seminar (TRS) is a bimonthly gathering for all MDC students and faculty. TRS meets from 1:00 PM to 1:50 PM on alternating Mondays\, and includes about thirty minutes for the paper presentation and twenty minutes for discussion. \nAll advanced degree students are invited to present a paper and share your research with your colleagues.

SUMMARY:Anatomy of a Research Paper Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we’ll walk through the anatomy of a research project and go through a variety of tips and practical help. We will also talk about the mental and spiritual hurdles to researching and writing well. Academic research and writing is easily the most daunting\, frustrating\, sometimes debilitating\, but ultimately rewarding part of the seminary experience. The bad news is that there’s no easy\, quick\, free-of-anguish way through this all-important aspect of every course you take here at MDC. The good news is that the fight is winnable and it’s even possible to keep the upper hand through each round in the ring. If you want to gain some wisdom in doing this hard work well\, then you don’t want to miss this workshop. Even if you are well advanced in your research and writing career\, you can benefit from this session\, and you’ll be able to share your own hard-won wisdom with others. \nJoin the Livestream\nPassword: z00m (Note that the password has zeros rather than “o”)

SUMMARY:Global Christianity Webinar with Dr. Goran Zivkovic
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, May 12\, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM (Eastern Time) for a Zoom webinar led by Dr. Goran Zivkovic on The Old Testament for a New Era: Cultural Hermeneutics in Light of National Socialism in Germany.  \nThe Old Testament is often perceived as irrelevant to the challenges of the modern world. In this webinar\, Dr. Zivkovic will explore how cultural hermeneutics offers a meaningful way to engage the Old Testament in contemporary contexts. By presenting different appropriations of culturally sensitive readings of the Old Testament during the era of National Socialism in Germany\, he will highlight both the dangers and the ethical potential of interpreting Scripture through a cultural lens. Dr. Zivkovic demonstrates how a culturally sensitive reading of the Old Testament provides critical insights for engaging ancient texts in a modern world. \nThis free webinar is open to all who are interested in this topic. This session will be recorded and emailed to participants following the webinar. \nRegister
