    jallman@dts.edu Thursdays, 1:00 to 3:40 pm

    THE LORD’S SUPPER BE 542 A


    Syllabus

    I. COURSE DESCRIPTION

    A biblical-theological study of themes related to the Lord’s Supper and an exposition


    of manor New Testament passages dealing with the Lord’s Supper. The course will
    review the contributions of the Levitical sacrifices, the Hallel Psalms, Isaiah’s Servant
    Songs, and New Covenant passages as well as explore the contribution of cultural
    issues to the understanding of the Lord’s Supper. 2 hours.

    II. COURSE OBJECTIVES

    The student who completes this course successfully will be able to:
    1. minister the Lord’s Supper more effectively in the local church.
    2. demonstrate deeper awareness of the theological and pastoral role the Supper
    plays in the life of the church and of the individual believer.

    III. COURSE TEXTBOOKS

    No textbooks will be used for this course. Reading will be assigned in the library as
    an alternative.

    Recommended Reading

    Jeremias, Joachim. The Eucharistic Words of Jesus Trans. Norman Perrin.


    Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1966.

    Witherington, Ben, III. Making a Meal of It: Rethinking the Theology of the Lord’s
    Supper. Waco, TX: Baylor University Press, 2007.

    IV. COURSE REQUIREMENTS

    A. Reading Assignments

    The student will read the class notes distributed by the instructor.

    B. Written Assignments

    Expository Study—Each student will select one of the Hallel psalms


    (specifically, one may choose from the following: Psalms 113, 115, 116, 118)
    to study. The exposition will be submitted in Turabian form. The goal of the
    assignment, of course, is to deepen one’s understanding of the Lord’s Supper,
    but the paper should be a credible exposition of the passage itself. We will
    give, in class, a discussion and examples of what is expected in the papers.
    Th.M. students who have had a course in Hebrew exegesis must use it in their
    BE 542 A The Lord’s Supper
    Fall Semester, 2015

    study of the passage. MA students will use the processes taught in BE 101 and
    subsequent courses.

    Lord’s Supper — The student will write a paper addressing what might be
    done differently in the times we have the Lord’s Supper. Instead of simply
    taking a few minutes to get through it, how might a church creatively
    practice the supper to allow people to grasp one or more of the truths that we
    have been discussing? The paper should not be lengthy, and it need not be
    supplemented by footnotes and bibliography.

    C. Examinations

    Two exams will be given in this course. The mid-term exam will be given on
    October 12; the other during finals. The exams will be essay exams covering
    the lectures for the course.

    V. COURSE POLICIES

    A. Letter/Numerical Grade Scale

    A+ 99-100 B+ 91-93 C+ 83-85 D+ 75-77 F 0-69

    A 96-98 B 88-90 C 80-82 D 72-74

    A- 94-95 B- 86-87 C- 78-79 D- 70-71

    B. Weighting of Course Requirements for Grading


    The final grade will be figured on the following basis, the written assignment counting 50% of your
    grade, and the exams counting 50%.

    C. Class Participation
    Attendance at each class session is expected. Your attendance is the bare minimum required for
    receiving a grade in this course. No grade will be issued for your attendance, but you may lose credit
    for non-attendance. The attendance policy of the seminary, published in the student handbook will be
    followed in this course.

    In a Bible class, we have a unique privilege, the promise of the Spirit’s blessing on His Word, and the
    promise of the Savior’s presence in our midst. Therefore, to absent oneself from class withholds the
    Spirit’s ministry to the class and from the class.

    Each class period the instructor will pass around a role sheet for the students to sign. Generally it will
    be circulated at the beginning of class. If you fail to sign it when it is circulated, please be certain to
    sign it before the instructor leaves the classroom. Once he has left the classroom, the form of the
    attendance sheet for that day will be considered official and unchangeable. Please do not sign the sheet
    for another person. If you must miss more than fifteen minutes of a class, do not sign the sheet.

    D. Late Assignments
    No late assignments will be accepted.
