Nourish your mind with summer school

•  Online Hebrew (Session I and II; 3 credit hours each) – an intensive summer course, online Hebrew is equivalent to a full academic year (two semesters, six credit hours) of study and is intended to provide students with the basic fundamentals necessary to engage the text of the Hebrew Bible in the original language for the purposes of study, research, and ministry.
• Christian Encounter with Hinduism (Session II, Weekdays 1:40 – 2:55pm; 3 credit hours) – Many Christians are simultaneously bewildered by Hinduism and appreciative of it – bewildered by a tradition that seems to affirm thousands of divinities, and appreciative of its enduring legacies of wisdom, meditation, and religious tolerance. The class has two main goals: (1) help students gain literacy in the history and thought systems of this diverse tradition; (2) engage and encounter Hindu texts and practices in a way that helps students return to their personal theological traditions to asses their new categories and questions.
• The Spirituality of Food, Field, and Table (June 16-20 only; 1 credit hour) – This course will take place on the campus of Warren Wilson College in the mountains of Western North Carolina and will feature experiential learning as well as lectures and discussions that explore theological and scriptural dimensions of the practices of field and table. This course will be offered on a pass/fail basis and in addition to tuition requires an additional registration fee for housing and meals. Registration is limited.
