Dr. Brad Harper

Bible & Theology Professor, Multnomah University

I grew up in California, in the Bay Area, where my son and I recently bicycled and skateboarded the streets of San Francisco for four days. I came to faith in Christ as a little boy one summer at my church’s Vacation Bible School. It made complete sense to me when the teacher told me that I was a sinner. What amazed me then and still stuns me today is that God loved me enough to want a relationship with me anyway. I love the Multnomah community where the young people I hang out with are not only my students, but also often become my friends. It’s in this environment that we have the freedom to address the complex questions of life and faith with honesty and without fear.

Course Description

This course provides some snapshots of some important questions and conversation we have about God and humanity. We think together about what it means to be human, in all our beauty and brokenness and then what it looks like for a loving God to bring us healing and hope. We look at how becoming more what God wants us to be is not primarily an exercise in behavior modification, but a response to the love of God. Finally, we look at the community that God has called us into, the church, through a very contemporary question: What does it look like for women to be equal partners in the church when they have been anything but equal partners for most of human history?
