For Immediate Release

12.11.2013

REDDING, Calif. - Looking for a Christmas gift for someone who loves learning? A Simpson University for Seniors class might be ideal.

These monthlong, not-for-credit, no-homework courses meet from 10:20 to 11:20 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on Simpson’s campus, 2211 College View Drive in Redding. The cost is $95 per course, or $145 for couples registering for the same course.

Classes on a variety of topics are offered through May. View the spring and summer 2014 courses online at simpsonu.edu/seniorschool.

Two classes are offered in January, starting on the 6th:

Political Economics and the World Today: It is well known that governments influence the economy, and in turn the economy affects how societies view their governments. This course will focus on some of the ways that politicians, investors, merchants—and gangsters—look at and behave in our world. Presented by Gary Schmidt, Simpson University assistant professor of business.

Discovering a “Forgotten Book” of the Bible: I & II Chronicles: There are two major histories recorded in the Old Testament. One begins in the book of Joshua and ends with II Kings. Centuries later, a second history was written, often covering the same historical content. This course will compare and contrast the two histories, but focus primarily on the Chronicler: his audience and his presuppositions. Presented by Dr. Glenn Schaefer, Simpson professor of Old Testament.

Register online and pay with a credit card at simpsonu.edu/seniorschool, or fill out a paper registration form and pay with a check (mail to Simpson University for Seniors, 2211 College View Drive, Redding, CA 96003).
