EAST HOLY LAND STUDY TOUR 2017
19 November to 3 December 2017 (Registration by 30 June 2017)
Holy Land Study Tour
Picture yourself cupping your hands to drink water at the same spring where Gideon’s band of 300 select men did the same, climbing the steps that led to the altar of the golden calf in the northern kingdom of Israel, or studying about Jesus calming the storms as you sail across the Sea of Galilee. This is an opportunity to study God’s Word in its original setting. For more information about the Study Tour email studytour@east.edu.sg.

Registration deadline for Intensive Courses is Wednesday, 10 May 2017. You may register online or contact us for registration form.
TS534/LF548 Theology and Practice of Humility (3 Credits)
17-26 May 2017 (starts on Wednesday, ends on the following Friday), 9.00 am-5.00 pm
What is biblical humility and how could we have it? God’s Word commands us to have humility: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up” (James 4:10). When Dr Abraham Joseph wrote his PhD dissertation on “A Christian Theology of Humility,” he found that biblical humility is different than what we consider as “humility.” You will explore these and many more practical implications of having biblical humility for marriage, health, family, ministry and Christian life.
Abraham Joseph, PhD, serves as professor of theology and director of PhD studies at the Asian Christian Academy, Evangelical Theological Seminary (India). His PhD (Systematic Theology) is from Dallas Theological Seminary. His calling is to equip believers with the knowledge of God’s Word so that they may live to His glory as witnesses to Jesus Christ.
