How does the cosmic sovereignty of Jesus reshape your everyday life?


Find out in From the Cosmos to the Kitchen, a rigorous, deep-dive study of Colossians and Philemon. Open to both undergraduate and graduate students, this course moves beyond surface-level reading to form you into an insightful, faithful interpreter of Scripture.


Led by Devin White—a Lumen Center Fellow in Biblical Studies and an expert in Paul’s letters and Christian theology—you will master the theological weight of Paul’s arguments. More than an academic exercise, this class will equip you to evaluate our immediate political and social contexts. You will discover how the gospel directly disrupts and reshapes our daily spaces: the university, the household, and the local church.


This course will take place on Tuesdays from 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm, September 8th to November 17th. There is no charge for the course or curriculum.
