Paul’s first letter to the believers in Corinth came at a time in which the church struggled with division, sexual immorality, confusion, and lack of love. Its message is timeless, and especially relevant to our church and our culture today.
Leading biblical scholar Dr. Robert Gagnon will join us for this special opportunity to dive deep into the careful interpretation of this text in its cultural and historical context and explore its application to today’s issues. Gagnon is currently serving as a Visiting Scholar in Residence with Wesley Biblical Seminary.
The course is offered online. You can join live via Zoom or watch the recorded lectures on your own schedule. Students are welcome to sign up for the class for credit or as auditors; the cost to audit is $300.
The course will meet on Thursdays, 6:00-9:00 pm Central time starting Jan. 12, 2025.
Robert Gagnon, Ph.D., is known the world over for being the foremost expert in the Bible’s view of homosexual practice, having risked his career to defend the historic scriptural view in a mainline denominational context while others kept silent. His book, The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Text and Hermeneutics, is considered the definitive work on the topic, along with his over 23 scholarly articles and presentations, and he continues to be a key voice in the contemporary debates on human sexuality. He is currently working to complete Speaking the Truth in Love, a book that will both update and popularize his research on homosexuality and transgenderism in the Bible. Dr. Gagnon is also working on a book about the most important passages in the Bible.
Dr. Gagnon has degrees from Dartmouth College (B.A.), Harvard Divinity School (M.T.S.), and Princeton Theological Seminary (Ph.D.). He has been a passionate teacher of Scripture for thirty years, first at Middlebury College, then for 23 years at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, and for the past 5 years at Houston Christian University and Seminary.
