The course is designed to provide a theological understanding of Christian beliefs about the Holy Spirit that is global in scope and ecumenical in character. Topics include the growth of pneumatological traditions, views of
leading theologians on Twentieth-century pneumatology, Pentecostal and Evangelical pneumatologies, the question of “Spirit-Baptism”, “Spirit Christologies”, traditional, contextual and intercultural interpretations of the Holy
Spirit. The core issue is the corporate indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Our traditional emphasis on the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of individuals has sometimes led to spiritual pride or even contempt of church authority. This
course seeks to find out whether a Word-centered corporate indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the way out for pneumatology in the modern world.
Dr. Harold Hunter is a theologian and ecumenist who serves the International Pentecostal Holiness Church as Director of IPHC Archives & Research Center. He created the course “A Theology of the Holy Spirit” in 1982
and has taught this course at schools around the world. In this course, Dr. Hunter is going to provide a structured framework for discussion and put in comprehensible terms how the Holy Spirit really works in the church in
order to make the congregations understand. This is an intensive course running from May 20 to June 18, 2013.

SB UG06
This course is a critical exploration of the intricate relationships between popular media culture and Christianity. While popular culture and the media have long become a daily
reality for many in the world, these have seldom been taken seriously by theologians and scholars of religion. Also, the relationship between popular media and religion (including Christianity) is often overlooked in academic
studies until relatively recent time. We shall reexamine various manifestations of popular culture from Christian theological perspectives, and also probes into the subtle interrelatedness between media culture and
Christianity as an organized religion. This course engages with the vigorously developing interdisciplinary field of media, religion, and culture (MRC) as its wider academic context; at the same time it attends particularly to
the Chinese language popular media and Chinese Christianity in Hong Kong. This is an intensive course tentative running from May 27 to July 13, 2013.
