 In this Lenten study in the book of Job, we will consider Job’s sufferings from the perspective of the cross.  What can Job tell us about the experience of suffering?  How does God respond to our suffering?  Adult education committeeman, Blake Walter, will lead us on a three-week study on the suffering of Job.

This year’s lectionary focuses on Luke.  It is fitting, therefore, that we understand the overall themes of this gospel, what makes it distinctive, and how we can read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest its central teachings to our own good and God’s glory.  Dr. Leroy Huizinga, professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, will lead this four-week study of Luke.

If you’ve been around Church of the Resurrection for any length of time, you’ll have heard the clergy say that its teaching is guided by the “Great Tradition.”  What is the “great tradition” and why should our church be at pains to situate its teaching within it?  Barbara Gauthier will lead a four-week study that explores the Great Tradition, its basis in Scripture, the church fathers, the Creed and early church councils - and how it is embraced in the Anglican Church.

 Advent is the season we recall Jesus’ first coming and look forward to his next.  But what, exactly, are we waiting for?  Surprisingly, many Christians lack a clear understanding of what they’re living their whole lives to attain.  Will we spend eternity in heaven, and what’s that like?  What does heaven have to do with the new heavens and the new earth?  What difference does it make to our lives now that Jesus will return to “judge the living and the dead?”  The adult education leadership team will lead us in exploring these and related questions.

Recently, the Chicago Tribune has featured articles on luxury motels for dogs, animal airlines, organ transplants for pets, and even funeral rites for deceased animals.  Are animals being unduly elevated to the status of surrogate children?  What ought the Christian attitude be toward animals?  On November 1, 8, and 15 our own animal experts, veterinarians Nancy and Aaron Vigil, and Matt Farrelly (who received his M.A. in theology from Wheaton) address the “theology of animals.”  What does scripture say about the relationship of humans to other animals?  How does American practice conform to these theological principals?  And what about animals as sources of food? The second session is taught by Matt Farrelly, who finishes a theology of creation, and Nancy and Aaron Vigil.
