001 Song of Songs 아가서 연구
Instructor/소장: Dr. Rev. Alexander Pak 박 알렉산더
|
Description
This online course is a survey of Christian Spirituality of the book of Song of Songs. It aims to look beyond the literal interpretation of the Poems in the texts: Spiritual dimension of love, marriage and faithfulness of being loved and love (i.e. man & woman, God & Israel, and Christ & the Church that entail struggles, disappointments, loneliness and hope).
아가서 개요 클래스는 크리스천 영성의 책 (시)'인 본문 문맥을 넘어서 영성의 은유 비밀을 찾고 깨닭자 하는 강의임. 아가서의 이야기는 남녀 간의 결혼 전의 연애와 긍극적인 결혼과 그 후의 부부간의 삶: 사랑, 갈등, 실망, 외로움과 희망을 다룬다. 결혼은 인간적으로도 풀이가 되며 또한 하나님과 이스라엘 백성 간의 관계, 그리스도와 교회의 관계로도 볼 수 있음. 아가서의 핵심은 죽음보다 더 강한 사랑이 무언가를 시로 표현한 말씀인 것이다. |

034 An Introduction to Syriac Christianity & Monastic Spirituality
Instructor: Dr. Rev. Alexander Pak
Description
Christianity is like a three-legged stool that requires three legs to stand firm.
There are Eastern Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church, Protestant Churches, and Syrian Christianity. Most of Jesus' disciples, except Apostle Paul, went to the East and witnessed and martyred there according to traditions. They covered vast territories and intermingled with different cultures, languages, and ethnicities, yet they remained distinctively Eastern and Syriac.

To understand the whole counsel of God, one needs to revisit Syrian Christianity, which began in the first century and moved to the East and beyond. It had over 1000 years of spreading, maintaining, and prospering churches, schools, and monastic communities and martyrs. Her missionary activities cover Asia Minor, Armenia, Iraq, Central Asia, India, and China. She also produced many theologians, spiritual writers, mystics, monuments, and architecture. However, with the rise of Islam and the invasion of Mongols—along with other factors—Syrian Christianity declined and almost threatened her existence. Syrian Christian Orthodox Church's headquarter is located in Damascus, Syria. Thanks to their migrations to Europe, the U.S.A, and other parts of the world, they settled and began flourishing again. There are many Syrian Christianity churches throughout North America. |
