Greek Tools and Methods
The Greek Tools and Methods course equips Bible students to dig deep using biblical language yet with a gentler learning curve. The teacher, Dr. Rob MacEwen, has other academic interests as well which include the Synoptic Gospels and the relationships between Acts and Paul’s letters.

Dr. MacEwen, formerly a missionary, has just published an academic book, “Matthean Posteriority: An Exploration of Matthew’s Use of Mark and Luke as a Solution to the Synoptic Problem,” which is available from Amazon.com.

Old Testament Wisdom Literature
How does the Old Testament Wisdom Literature remain relevant and applicable to current times in Asia? Dr. Rico Villanueva, the course teacher, introduced the books of Job, parts of the Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs and led the class in discerning their use in our own culture.

Building on the Foundation of Christ
Dr. Andrew Spurgeon, a visiting faculty, spoke at the recent Chapel on a firm balance in building on the foundation of Christ (1 Corinthians 3). Chapel is oft a great time of worship, the Word, and regathering of the community faith in fellowship at EAST. Praise God for the privilege!

EAST FIRM Class
“Fun day with clay, not as easy as it seems… reminds me of God’s moulding us, His creation… the stubborn and impossible clay. Yet with love (water), the vessel takes the shape of what the Potter desires it to be. And heat and ash gives it hardness, texture and colour. Much like God using difficulties to mould us. What an object lesson!” ~ Daniel Yeo, EAST student.

The Formation, Integration, Reflection, and Ministry (FIRM) class is part of EAST Field Education, as taught by Mrs. Tan Ying Kheng. Recently, the FIRM class spent time at a clay studio as hands-on learning of what it means being a potter in moulding clay.
