LCC professor named VP
of theological society

[APRIL 6, 2002]  Dr. Robert C. Kurka, professor of Bible and theology at Lincoln Christian College, is the newly elected vice president of The Midwest Regional Evangelical Theological Society. His selection took place at the organization’s 47th annual meeting, which was March 22-23 in Wheaton.

In his new role, Kurka’s duties will include administrating the student paper competition, securing publisher participation and assisting the new society president, Dr. Ardel Caneday of Northwestern College in Minnesota, for the 2003 regional meeting in St. Paul, Minn. Following next year’s meeting, Kurka will become president of the regional organization and host the 2004 meeting on the campus of Lincoln Christian College and Seminary.

The Evangelical Theological Society was founded in 1949 "to foster conservative Biblical scholarship by providing a medium for the oral exchange and written expression of thought and research in the general field of the theological disciplines as centered in Scripture" (ETS Constitution, Article II). More than 3,100 scholars and students are members of the national Evangelical Theological Society. The national society president is the well-known theologian Dr. Millard Erickson of Baylor University.

Group attending Passion play

[APRIL 6, 2002]  A group originated by the high school and junior high Sunday School classes at St. John United Church of Christ in Lincoln will attend the American Passion Play in Bloomington on April 13.

The performance, in its 79th season, is the oldest continuously performed Passion play in the United States. Unlike others of its genre, it dramatizes Jesus’ ministry from his Sermon on the Mount to his resurrection and ascension, not just the events of Easter week.

The four-hour play takes the text for its more than 50 scenes from the King James translation of the Bible. Settings, costumes and actions recreate first-century Galilee, with changes made over the years to reflect modern historical knowledge of the era.

Dedicated amateur actors perform the Passion play at the Scottish Rite Temple in Bloomington.

About 15 people from St. John Church plan to attend on April 13. Tonita Reifsteck and Debbie Johnson teach the senior high class, and Judy Atteberry and Peggy Goetsch teach the junior high students.

Two LCS professors publish writings

[MARCH 30, 2002]  LCCS professors Dr. Gary Hall and Dr. James Sennett will be seeing their individual works in print. Both professors have written articles for publication in the Stone-Campbell Journal. 

Dr. Hall, professor of Old Testament at Lincoln Christian Seminary, has authored a paper titled "A Critique of the Place of the Old Testament in the Early History of the Stone-Campbell Movement," which appears in the spring issue of the Stone-Campbell Journal. His critique looks at the attitude toward the Old Testament in the writings of the Stone-Campbell movement leaders in the 19th century.

This is the second time Hall’s writings have appeared in the journal. His previous article for the journal appeared in the spring 1998 issue and was on the rhetorical use of chiasms in Deuteronomy. He is also the author of "Deuteronomy," a commentary published by College Press in 2000. He is currently co-authoring his second book, which is an introduction to the Old Testament.

Dr. Sennett, professor of philosophy and interdisciplinary studies for Lincoln Christian College and Seminary, was selected to read a paper at the Stone-Campbell Journal Conference in St. Louis in March.

Additionally, his article "Stopping Hume’s Stopper: A Rejection of a Traditional Attack on Natural Theology" will be published in the fall 2002 issue of the Stone-Campbell Journal. The article is available right now at http://www.lccs.edu/~jsennett/stopper.htm

Sennett will chair a session at the American Philosophical Association meeting in Chicago in May.
