Going Deeper into the Letters Paul Actually Wrote: There are seven New Testament letters Paul actually wrote in the middle of the first century. Years after he died others wrote in his name. They are pseudopigrapha. After years of intensive research Pastor George Martin (author of Paul Found in His Letters) has unearthed some of realities allowing us to see the real Paul in intriguing ways. This course addresses these questions:
1. Can we find a date for Paul in the first century?
2. Discovering Paul’s amazing relationships with women?
3. Did Paul silently approve of those who kept slaves?
4. Why did Paul want to take the gospel to Spain?
5. What leads us to think that Paul was less of theologian and more of a mystic?
Pastor Martin (retired Episcopal Priest) became a Pauline scholar in his retirement. His book looks at Paul from a firstcentury historical and cultural perspective. Highlights from his research shape this course.

Grab your scabbard and your grog and join in the adventures of individual pirates such as Black Sam Bellamy, Benjamin Hornigold, and Blackbeard. We will be explore the role of pirates in creating a unique democracy while causing serious economic and political disruptions for Spain and other world powers.

Eisner described as “deeper than a number—6,000,000—giving us a human touch in the midst of inhumanity.” Her son, Irv, will share excerpts from her book, “Only Hope: A Survivor’s Stories of the Holocaust.” You will learn about the Holocaust through his mother's eyes, as well as how he, the child of two survivors of Auschwitz, was impacted by his parents' experiences.

- Sea Power (Hybrid)
-
ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. Please contact the OLLI Office for assistance.
This course will educate and inform participants about what sea power has meant historically and will examine what it means today and might mean looking forward. The “freedom of the seas” is a centuries-old precept, but many do not realize that the primary driving force behind that precept is commerce. Economics comes first, with naval strength being a necessary corollary to economies that rely on seaborne trade. A nation must have both a strong economy and a powerful Navy to become a “Great Sea Power”. The United States has exercised a hegemony for many decades that included its recognized position as an unrivaled naval power with the world’s largest economy. That hegemony appears to be disappearing rapidly. This SIG will consider who – in anyone – will guarantee freedom of the seas If the United States can no longer “go it alone”.

- U.S. Bill of Rights - Amendment 1
-
THIS CLASS IS FULL. Please click the "Add to Waitlist" button below.
The US Supreme Court has decided many challenges to government actions to our “rights” under Amendment I of the Bill of Rights. Those decisions have evolved over time, largely related to “current events” at the time. To understand our current First Amendment Rights, we need to understand the evolution of the Court’s pronouncements over time.
