I am in the midst of some intense studies with my Patristic and Celtic Spirituality course. This course is directly related to my major emphasis “Biblical Spirituality”. It is led and taught by Dr. Michael Haykin who is known at least in Baptist circles as an expert in spirituality and revival. He is one gracious scholar. I have already read a dozen or more books, participated in three different forum discussions, and am preparing for two major presentations when I go to Louisville in November-December. The major presentation is a 25 page paper on Augustine on the Psalms (more on that in the coming weeks). Needless to say it is a whopper. In addition, to all of that, we are required to complete a series of questions based on several writings of church fathers, which totals around one hundred questions. It is an extremely rich and intense course. I would appreciate much prayer. Augustine in particular has challenged me especially in his preaching, which is alien to most preaching today, myself included.
