SUMMARY:TRS - John J. H. Lee
DESCRIPTION:At this week’s Theological Research Seminar\, John J.H. Lee will be presenting\, “What We Should Talk about When We Talk about ἁμαρτία (‘sin’) in Paul’s Gospel” \nRead the abstract and her 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\nIn his 2018 paper\, Simon Gathercole aptly observed a prevailing tendency in contemporary Pauline scholarship: the inclination to interpret ἁμαρτία in Paul’s letters as a cosmic evil power rather than as individual acts of disobedience and transgression against God’s law. My paper challenges that trend. Employing a two-stage framework\, I conduct a semantic domain analysis of all the related terms associated with ἁμαρτία\, as well as a verb-noun pair (ἁμαρτάνω-ἁμαρτία) study across both the undisputed and disputed Pauline letters and the entire New Testament. Based on these linguistic findings\, I argue that ἁμαρτία in Paul’s writings is best understood as referring to an individual’s sinful act rather than a cosmic evil force. \nBio\nJohn graduated from MDC in 2024 with a PhD in New Testament. He is the Managing Editor of the McMaster Divinity College Press. Before comingto MDC\, he and his family served with Wycliffe Bible Translators in the Caucasus region as Bible translator \n\n\n\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. 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 - Erin Wildsmith
DESCRIPTION:At this week’s Theological Research Seminar\, Erin Wildsmith will be presenting\, “Henri Nouwen and the Inner Life of the Preacher?” \nRead the abstract and her 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\nOver the course of his life Dutch priest\, lecturer\, and writer Henri J.M. Nouwen inspired countless students and readers crossing national and denominational boundaries. While Nouwen and his work have long been valued by a broad readership for his penetrating insights into the spiritual life\, Christian leaders seemed to hold a special place in his heart. Indeed\, many of his most beloved books are addressed specifically to this audience. While he speaks only sparingly about preaching\, Nouwen’s pastoral theology crystalizes important insights for the inner life of preachers as the starting point from which he or she evokes the vocation of the congregation. This paper will explore three central themes in Nouwen’s work: oscillation between the polarities of the spiritual life\, the preacher as wounded healer\, and the twin ministries of silence and prayer\, and apply them to the preacher’s own inner landscape. A closer engagement with Nouwen’s treatment of these themes can encourage weary preachers in search of a renewed sense of vocation and energy for ministry. \nBio\nErin is the Senior Pastor at Highview Community Church in Kithener\, ON. She graduated from MDC in 2013 with a Master of Divinity and is currently completing the Doctor of Practical Theology program \n  \n\n\n\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. 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?

SUMMARY:Seraphim Arts Guild Opening
DESCRIPTION:This Tuesday\, the MDC Gallery hosts its last artist for the year\, Lynne McIlvride\, an extraordinary media artist from the Port Perry area of southwestern Ontario. Lynne’s work goes back several decades and has been defined by geometric patterning\, brilliant colour\, and a clear joyful sense of whimsy\, often created in the face of very challenging life events.

SUMMARY:TRS - Dr. Stanley Porter
DESCRIPTION:At this week’s Theological Research Seminar\, Dr. Stanley Porter will be presenting\, “What Kind of a Scholar was C.S. Lewis?” \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\nC. S. Lewis is mostly known today as a writer of very popular “children’s literature” or popular Christian apologetics—and rightly so\, since his writings in these areas have had a tremendous influence in popular literature and Christian lay theology. However\, producing such writings was not Lewis’s regular job. In fact\, in his day Lewis was from the start of his career until his death known as a major scholar of medieval and Renaissance literature\, first at Oxford and then Cambridge universities. In this paper\, I will examine some of Lewis’s major works of literary history\, theory\, and criticism (according to one author’s tripartite division) and make some evaluations of the contributions that he made—and even controversial stances that he took. Many of his ideas have stood the test of time\, while others are far more controversial or even disputed in contemporary literary criticism. \nBio\nStan has taught for over thirty years in universities and seminaries in Canada\, the USA\, and the UK. Stan has been President and Professor of New Testament at MDC since 2001. His publications include 38 authored books and over 400 authored journal articles and chapters along with over 100 other shorter pieces; he has also edited over 100 volumes. He remains a well-known and respected expert in Greek and New Testament studies throughout the world\, but has interests that cover the range of New Testament studies\, from Paul to the gospels to papyrology and textual criticism\, as well as the Septuagint. He has supervised over 50 successful PhD students. Stan has a vision for MDC to continue to be a first-choice seminary of academic excellence and spiritual integrity. He is also the founder of the Centre for Biblical Linguistics\, Translation\, and Exegesis\, and remains a strong supporter of OpenText.org. Stan attends a local Baptist church. \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. 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
