360 Regional Two Weeks from Today

by | Jan 23, 2024 | Events, News, News and Events

Men,

Here’s a reminder in case you’ve put off registering. . .

Two weeks from today the next Shepherds 360 Regional Fellowship meeting will take place on Tuesday, January 30, 2024 at Shepherds Theological Seminary. The topic for the day will be “A Critique of Two Developing Trends in Modern Evangelical Thought: Reformed Catholicity and Reformed Dispensationalism.”

The speaker will be Jesse Randolph, Senior Pastor of Indian Hills Community Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. The important and timely topic he will address is regarding the increasing influences of Post-Reformation Scholasticism / Catholic philosophers on evangelical thinking. These influences encourage scholars to engage deeply with historical texts, especially philosophers like Plato and Aristotle and Scholastic Roman Catholic theologians like Thomas Aquinas, to  promote what they believe to be a richer understanding of the development of Christian thought.

Jesse Randolph began his career as an attorney, but ultimately gave up the practice of law to enter the Gospel ministry. He earned his academic degrees at University of California – Riverside (BA), University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco (JD), and The Master’s Seminary (MDiv).

The full schedule for Tuesday, January 30 is below:

  • 9:00 a.m. Registration and Fellowship
  • 9:30 a.m. Welcome, Opening Comments
  • 9:45 a.m. Session #1 with Jesse Randolph

Current Issues in Trinitarian Studies

A Brief History of Fundamentalism

Back in the 1970’s when I was teaching at a Bible college, one of my students asked me, somewhat tongue in cheek, what descriptive terms he should use to describe his ministry views in order for him to be, in his words, “the top dog.” He meant, like “fundamentalist.”...
