Distance Learning


In order to make orthodox theological training available on a wider scale, as well as to accommodate the needs of our current students, we have developed several courses on disk that can be audited or completed for credit.

Anyone may audit courses without being enrolled as a student, and up to two courses may be taken for credit without formal enrollment. However, to receive credit for three or more courses, the application process must be completed.

Courses in CD Format

Classroom lectures and class notes are available on CD in the following formats:

  • PC-ready, with mp3 audio that can be downloaded into a digital audio player or palm computer. (Note: These disks will NOT play on a Mac computer unless it is PC-compatible.)
  • CD player-ready ($100 additional charge)

Courses in DVD Format

Computer DVD versions of classroom lectures and class notes are available for eight courses.

Note: These disks will operate only on a computer DVD drive and will NOT play back on a DVD player attached to a television. DVD-ready format is not available.)

Course Credit

When taking a course for credit, you will be put in contact with a professor and provided with the directions, requirements, and policies for the course. To be eligible for credit, courses must be completed within six months of the initial contact with the professor.

Audit

When auditing, you will not have direct access to the professor of the course, but you will receive all of the course materials.

For more information, send your questions to cranmerhouse@gmail.com.

Anglicanism: This Church History course is taught by The Rt. Rev. Ray S. Sutton (Ph.D. Oxford).

Apologetics: The Very Rev Frank Levi has studied movements, philosophies, and world religions most of his life, having taught such on secular college campuses for many years.

The Four Gospels: Why four Gospels? Why did God not just give us the life of Christ through the work of one author? He divinely appointed four to tell the story of the Incarnation. The differences among the accounts are not contradictions but complementary pictures of Jesus. Each Gospel provides a piece of the overall portrait. Taught by The Rt. Rev. Ray R. Sutton (Ph.D. Oxford).

Doctrine of the Church and Eschatology: Part One, taught by The Rt. Rev. Royal U. Grote, is an examination of the biblical language, imagery, and theology of the Church (i.e., Ecclesiology) laying the foundation for a consideration what has been described as the great “notes” or marks of the Church: One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. Part Two, taught by The Rt. Rev Daniel R. Morse, presents the concerns of General Eschatology, specifically the victory of Christ. The final 2-1/2 hours, taught by The Very Rev. Curtis I. Crenshaw, focus on the four competing views of dispensationalism..

Doctrine of God and Christ (replaces Christology): The Holy Trinity is the most basic teaching of Christianity in the history of the Church, along with the Incarnation of God the Son. Do you really understand that God is one and God is three?  How would you explain and defend this to a Muslim? Moreover, there is more to the person of Christ than you would think (one person, two natures, no mixture of the natures yet the natures cooperate in the one person for our redemption, and so on.) Go to this link and download or read the free introduction to this course. Did the Son give up the use of His divine attributes while on earth? Find out why that was impossible. In this day when the Jesus Seminar, Da Vinci Code, and the media are attacking the orthodox view of God and Christ, it is refreshing to study what the Church has always taught in its creeds, what the Bible clearly says, and what difference these foundations make. You will never regret taking this course! You will worship God with renewed vigor, and your faith in Christ will be strengthened! Taught by The Very Rev. Dr. Curtis I. Crenshaw, Th.D.

Doctrine of Scripture and Hermeneutics: How was our Bible formed? How do we know what books should be in the Bible? What is the ultimate authority, tradition, Church, or Holy Scripture, and how do we know? Do you know how to interpret the Bible? Is there really an objective method? You will learn how the early fathers understood Holy Scripture, the various kinds of genre in Scripture, and be much more confident in your understanding of what the final authority for the Church really says! Taught by The Rev. Dr. Daniel K. Dunlap, Ph.D., Oxford.

Liturgics: The Rt. Rev. Ray R. Sutton (Ph.D. Oxford) teaches -this in-depth look at the grammar, syntax, dialect, and accent of the liturgy. Beginning with the premise that in worship God meets with His people and his glory comes to wherever they are, Bishop Sutton shows how the Church in its theology and symbolism reminds the people of God of the glory into which they have entered in the Divine Liturgy. As a result, liturgical worship is the greatest privilege that a human being can have.

Old Testament Poetical Books: These include Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. Taught by The Rt. Rev. Daniel R. Morse, who studied Hebrew in Israel, these books will open up for you. Bishop Morse has the unique gift of making things clear and simple. You will see the worship of the Church in the Psalms and the practical wisdom in Proverbs, and much more.

Patristics: Taught by The Rt. Rev. John Fenwick from England, Ph.D.,who has traveled widely, was in the office of the Archbishop of Canterbury at one time, and did his Ph.D. in liturgy in the early fathers. Bishop Fenwick's accent is a delight to hear, but his unfolding of the early fathers is even better. It is very encouraging to know that what we believe is what the early fathers taught. The Church has not changed the essence of its belief in 2,000 years, for God's truth of the Gospel is unchanging!

Spirituality: Survey of and introduction to various classical Christian works from the past with a focus on the spiritual life and well-being of pastors and other church leaders in the present. Special consideration will be given to seeking a balance between the place of the intellect, experience, this world, and the world to come with the goal to introduce students to an approach to ministry as spiritual director and not simply as program manager. The Rt. Rev. Ray R. Sutton (Ph.D. Oxford) does a marvelous job of covering virtually every model of spirituality in the history of the church, and then he gives an Anglican model that is very biblical and practical. Your spiritual life will never be the same. (View Dr Sutton's outline Summary of Anglican Spirituality.)
