Six Lessons on the Gospel of John

10/18/2007

0 Comments

 
October 18, 2007

Dr. Abraham Terian, Professor of Armenian Patristics, will offer six week mini-course on the Gospel of John. 

The Wednesday evening sessions will begin next Wednesday, October 24 at 7:30PM at St. Nersess Seminary in New Rochelle, NY. The remaining sessions will take place on October 31, November 7, 14,28 and conclude on December 5.

Among the four books of the Bible that contain the actual words of Jesus--Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the latter is stands out in many ways. It is the youngest, the most theologically dense, and the one that largely shaped the Armenian Church's understanding of Jesus Christ.



The opening words of John's Gospel, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God," are read at the end of the Armenian Badarak.

The mini-course, part of the Seminary's Extension Program, is open to all, regardless of their level of familiarity with the Bible. Professor Terian, an expert in the Bible who has taught Scripture for decades, will interweave lecture with opportunities for questions and discussion.

Those interested should simply come to the first class, bringing along a copy of the Bible. The mini-course is open to the public. Suggested donation is $150. For driving directions and other information, contact the Seminary at info@stnersess.edu or by telephone: (914) 636-2003.

Armenian Sacred Art and Architecture: Strength and Beauty

10/17/2007

October 17, 2007

For Armenians theology has never been the business of words only. Many Armenian theologians proclaimed their faith and Christian insights in color, in stone, in geometry, in perspective. 

Join the St. Nersess Seminary students, faculty and friends on six Mondays as renowned specialists in the Armenian Church's art and architecture sharpen your eyes and heart to the Gospel as it has been uniquely fashioned, tinted and sculpted by the Armenians.

The Gospel in Color and Form
The distinctive architectural style of our churches and the art on their walls are more than mere decoration. They are the Gospel revealed in color and form. 

The lecture series, entitled, Strength and Beauty in His Sanctuary: Armenian Sacred Art and Architecture will open on Monday, October 29 at 7:30PM with an illustrated presentation by Dr. Lucy DerManuelian of Tufts University. Dr. DerManuelian's presentation is entitled, Lost Treasures: Medieval Armenian Architeture.

Each year St. Nersess Seminary invites specialists in various fields of study connected with the faith, history and tradition of the Armenian Church to share their knowledge with the Seminary community and friends. This year's series has been generously subsidized by the Edward and Anita Essayan Educational Fund of St. Nersess Seminary.

Archaeological Expeditions
Lucy Der Manuelian is Arthur H. Dadian and Ara Oztemel Professor of Armenian Art at Tufts University. In addition to her extensive writing on a wide variety of art subjects, Prof. Der Manuelian has been awarded several grants for the restoration of medieval churches in Armenia, including the 7th century Church of Mankanots Holy Sion, the 10th c. Church of Tiranavor, and the 11th century Church of St. Karapet at Vorotnavank. She has also been involved in numerous archaeological expeditions to ancient Armenian and Urartian sites.

Known as an exuberant speaker, Dr. Der Manuelian will illustrate her lecture with simultaneously running overhead slides of these and other Armenian architectural monuments.

All lectures take place on the St. Nersess Seminary campus in New Rochelle, New York. Lectures begin at 7:30 PM and last about an hour. Speakers then open the floor to questions and discussion. A reception follows.
