NT 632 Exegesis of Philippians
Garwood P. Anderson
A. ASSUMED TEXTS 1. Access to two modern translations of the NT, preferably at least one “literal” or formal equivalence (e.g., New American Standard, Revised Standard, English Standard Version, New Revised Standard) and one “dynamic equivalence” translation (e.g., New International). Paraphrases (Living Bible, New Living Translation, The Message) are not suitable for the NT632: Page 2 of 8 purposes of this course. 2. Access to a critical edition of the Greek text: e.g., United Bible Society (3rd or 4th ed.); Nestle-Aland (26th or 27th ed.) or to a Greek-English interlinear based on these Greek texts. Students are expected to bring a copy of the Greek text of Philippians or an interlinear to class meetings. 3. BibleWorks 5.0 or 6.0 is highly recommended and will by itself more than satisfy 1 and 2. Students will be expected to work with the BibleWorks program for certain exegetical assignments. If you do not own the software, it will be your responsibility to find time in the Library’s computer lab to fulfill the assignment. C. Required Textbooks Black, David A.

Lay Committee Handbook
Asbury Theological Seminary
You and your congregation are invited to be a part of a cooperative adventure in pastoral field education with Asbury Theological Seminary. The seminary is committed to preparing men and women for effective ministries in the local church. Experience has shown that this is best done through an educational partnership between the local church and the seminary in which students have an opportunity to integrate theology with ministerial practice. This provides balance that is essential to a student’s understanding and preparation for ministry. Local churches become teaching-churches in this model. You provide context, ministry experiences and opportunities for personal, theological and professional reflection to the student intern ministering in your midst. The Pastor-Supervisor and the Lay Intern Committee have the leading roles in this process. The quality of your relationship with the student intern largely determines the effectiveness of this approach to contextual education, both in the church and in the on-campus reflection groups. This booklet is designed to provide guidance for the Local Church Lay Committee within your church. Near the beginning of the student’s internship and in consultation with the student, your pastor will select three to five persons which you feel would be committed and qualified to carry out the educational ministry described in these pages by meeting with the student at least once a month during the internship. We look forward to partnering with you and your church to shape the ministry of tomorrow for Jesus Christ. Expecting our Lord to bless you,

SM 701 Supervised Ministries Internship
Asbury Theological Seminary
You have elected to fulfill one of your Supervised Ministry requirements in a full-time internship off-campus. This is a commitment that will involve you in continuing daily relationship with both supervisor and the people to whom you are ministering. You will find this a unique opportunity to “test the waters” of real ministry and help to confirm your call to ministry. Internships differ from the concurrent semester placements as you will note in this handbook. You are “on your own” during the entire extended period of internship, except that regular contact with the Supervised Ministries Office is maintained by a schedule of “Due Dates” for your materials. This schedule of dates is to be honored according to your contractual agreement with the office prior to embarking on the internship experience. Your work will be evaluated according to schedule, and the evaluation statement will be mailed to you for your review. You should share this statement with your supervisor; an appropriate time is during the Supervisory Session. It is important that you communicate with the Supervised Ministries Office whenever any irregularities occur. You are advised before the internship begins that our office does not initiate contact with you either by mail or phone. It is your responsibility to report any delays or defaults along the way. Undue delays and lack of contact with our office will signal default on your part and can result in “No Credit” for the course. Finally, take time to acquaint yourself with this Handbook. As you prepare to work on the required items, be sure you understand by reading the directions and explanations. Careful observance of details will make your work move along smoothly and reduce the need of reminders along the way. Be assured of my prayerful support during this unique opportunity that you have to learn while ministering, and to grow in His grace and knowledge.
