Theological Classics

Theological Classics meets the second Tuesday of each month in the fall, winter, and spring.  Led by Immanuel's Parish Associate, the Rev. Dr. James Fisher, the group offers an educational opportunity for adults interested in exploring the writings of significant theologians.  Recent studies have included John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion, Gustavo Gutierrez's A Theology of Liberation, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship. 

During the Fall 2009 season, the Rev. Dr. James Fisher, Parish Associate, will lead a study of The Prophets, by Abraham Joshua Heschel.  In this 1962 classic, Heschel looked initially at the life, mission, and context of the Hebrew prophets, arguing that there is a divine pathos in the affairs of the human community.

The study will begin October 13 and continue on the second Tuesday of each month (Nov.10, Dec. 8, and Jan.12) at 7:00 p.m. in the Waverly Room on the second floor of the Waverly House, 1035 N. Waverly Place.  For more information contact the church office (414-276-4757).
