They were trying
to follow Jesus
at the heart of a violent empire.
They saw creation groaning,
they saw the stranger excluded,
they saw women and slaves abused.
How did Paul write hope to the
believers in Colossae?
How does that hope
shape our lives today?

Course Format and Requirements
Each class will run on zoom for two hours with a 5 minute break half-way through. Although the bulk of the class will consist of Brian teaching, participants will also be able to post questions and points for discussion in the chat which Brian will monitor and answer. Powerpoint will be used periodically to show biblical texts and illustrations.
Each class will be recorded. Students who miss a class can request a link to watch the recording. Registrants can also follow the entire course through the recordings. The recordings will not be posted in any other context.
There are no assignments and no required reading for this course, although suggestions for further reading will be made as the course progresses.
