CO 605 Treating the Serious Mentally Ill: Treatment Modalities and Referral Coordination

CO 625 Recognizing and Treating Addictive Disorders SU 308
Asbury Theological Seminary
COURSE DESCRIPTION Addictive disorders are pervasive in the culture. One need only talk to pastoral counselors, ministers, and youth leaders to document this reality. We know, for example, that 15% of the youth in North America will be lost to chemical dependency. We know that over half of all domestic violence cases are directly related to alcohol and drug abuse. Compulsive gambling, eating disorders, and sexual disorders also take a heavy toll on both the churched and the non churched. If the Christian counselor, pastor, or youth leader is to be effective in ministry, knowledge of this subject area is essential. This course is specifically designed to help prospective Christian counselors, pastors, and youth leaders, develop the skills needed to recognize addictive disorders, evaluate effective treatment options, and grasp the essential elements required for recovery from these disorders. Secular and Christ centered approaches for treating chemical dependency, eating disorders, compulsive gambling, and sexual disorders will be examined.

NT 510 The Gospel of Matthew
David R. Bauer
A basic course in inductive Bible studies. The primary purpose is to enable the student to begin developing an inductive approach to Bible study, especially in the areas of observation and interpretation. Parts of the Gospel of Matthew are used to demonstrate and to practice a methodical approach which can be used in other biblical books. Some of the main themes of the Gospel are highlighted in the process. This course seeks to introduce the student to the "inductive method" of biblical study, and to direct this interpretive approach to the Gospel of Matthew. This orientation implies several things, including (1) an emphasis upon methodology and methodological concerns, and (2) a strong commitment to direct, independent study of the biblical text, with secondary sources (e.g., commentaries, grammars, dictionaries of the Bible) to be consulted by the student only after extensive, firsthand study has been completed. The English Bible (RSV/NRSV) will serve as the basis for study. Students with facility in Greek are encouraged to make use of the original whenever possible
