Issues in Christian Ethics
How can a Christian know what ethical rules are right and how to defend them? For example, is it morally permissible to forego procedures like kidney dialysis or to withdraw life support from people who have had a stroke or heart attack and are unconscious? Or, is there nothing the church can say about homosexuality since science has proved that those who practice this lifestyle are genetically programmed to do so? Or has this actually been proved? And, what if a couple wants desperately to have a child but cannot by natural means? Because so many couples have succeeded in having a child using in vitro fertilization technology, does that mean this way of having a baby is morally acceptable? And finally, divorce and remarriage are rampant even in the church today. Is divorce ever mandated or even allowed by Scripture, and if so, in what instances? What does Jesus teach about divorce and remarriage, and is there any explanation of why the rules on this matter are what Scripture presents? Join us for a week of careful consideration of the Christian approach to such issues.

Use of the Old Testament in the New Testament
Since 1990 The Master's Seminary has offered a special course in the "winterim" period between the Fall and Spring semesters. Entitled the Distinguished Scholars Lecture Series, the seminary invites outstanding evangelical scholars from the areas of New Testament, Old Testament, Theology, and Bible Exposition to lecture on specialized topics in their area of expertise. The classes are open to current students and graduates and offer two units of academic credit.
The Winterim series is open to all TMS students, and, as always, TMS graduates may take advantage of this exciting opportunity tuition-free. Contact Dana Waller at the seminary (dwaller@tms.edu, or 818-909-5642) for more information.
