About This Course
What are the different ways we view the God of the Old Testament? We will explore what it means to be made in the image of God and to see God as potter via theological and biblical perspectives, hand building and wheel work with clay, and hands-on activities with ancient pottery sherds in the Kelso Museum of Near Eastern Archaeology.
This class is open to all regardless of their participation in the Spiritual Formation Certificate Program. If you are interested in learning more about the certificate program, please let us know and our office will be happy to send you details ().
