He’s also the author of 15 books, including “Sinners in the Hands of the Loving God,” and “What to Do on the Worst Day of Your Life.” The Prayer School consists of three, 90-minute sessions.
“I begin by showing people why you should pray according to a liturgy,” Zahnd explained. “There should be a formal structure to your prayer. I give them one, and I ask people to pray this way for like 40 days and see what happens. I’m not taking away how they pray; they can hold on to it, but add this to how you pray. So, I take the first 90 minutes and show them the first half of the prayer liturgy, which is designed to bring the person into the presence of God.
COST: $50 for registration as well as your in person expenses

Expectations of the course and fulfillment:
At TKC all coursework is “optional.” Well sort of anyway. Your expected to show your knowledge of the course in some way. We want you to arrive at well-formed theological view on the subject matter. You need to read the main course text in full and have the option to read the other suggested readings as well as listen to the videos and podcasts assigned. We expect you to formulate discussion in and out of the class, teach the subject or show your understanding and comprehension in another way, write an academic paper, make a YouTube video, teach or preach a series on it, lead a small group or something else to display that you have made a generous kingdom investment and have started to form great theological views on the given subjects at hand. We are open to many styles of learning and displays of comprehension and want you to work within your giftings. At some point in your time at TKC we would like you to try all of the above and are open to any other ways you would like to show your apprehension of the subject matter. However, in this sense, there are no set requirements per class.
With every class, you can work this out with your advisor and or class professor. The norm is considered to be an 8-page paper with at least 15 references.
A credit hour is an educational unit representing one hour of class time per week for an entire semester plus the time out of class needed to complete homework and required class projects. Lectures, labs and practice sessions are all considered to be class time and count toward fulfilling the class requirements to receive credit hours.
Given this definition of a credit hour for college, it is the equivalent of a semester hour. University classes range from 1 to 4 credit hours, but most are worth 3 credit hours. Semesters are typically 15 weeks long, so a 3-credit class represents 45 hours of class time plus necessary work done outside class. Since TKC is primarily online, there is no set amount of time required. Class discussions are usually conducted in 8 or 9 week zoom meetings once a week for around an hour. Attendance is NOT required; you may choose to “zoom” in if you desire.
Scholarly Dissertation Guidelines
Citations serve several purposes in academic or scholarly writing:
- Shows the audience that you have properly researched the topic at hand, strengthening your authority as the writer and allows the audience to follow up with your resources if they want or need additional information on the topic.
- Helps to position your essay in an ongoing scholarly conversation.
- Allows you to avoid plagiarism by properly giving credit to the original source of the words or ideas referenced in your paper.
Why do we have to cite a certain way?
Different academic fields place varying degrees of emphasis on different things. Because of this, different citation styles have evolved over time to meet the specific needs of the discipline. Mastering the appropriate citation style is an important part of joining a scholarly community. Currently, the Seminary recognizes five citation styles: MLA, APA, Chicago, SBL, with an emphasis on Turabian which we will use as an example below.
Common Elements
All citation styles have certain things in common. They exist to help your readers identify and find your sources. Regardless of style, you will need the following:
- Author’s name
- Title of the text
- Publisher
- Publisher’s location
- Date of publication
TKC academic papers principally follow Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers, 9th ed. (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2018). Please order this text at the beginning of your time with TKC.
ACADEMIC PAPERS:
• All pages should be set to the standard 8.5 x 11 inches.
• The document should be double-spaced in 8.5×11 format, and the footnotes should be single-spaced.
• The customary font for Turabian papers is Times New Roman 12
• Unless otherwise indicated in the instructions below, the font size should be 12 points. Hebrew and Greek fonts may need to be adjusted to match the size of the surrounding English font.
• Indent each paragraph one-half inch.
• Each paragraph must have at least two sentences. A two-sentence paragraph would be rare but may be used for some purposes such as introducing a section of a paper. In general, however, a paragraph should have at least three and preferably more sentences. The upper limit of a paragraph would be approximately one page. • Use the serial or Oxford comma, placed immediately before the coordinating conjunction in a series of three or more elements.
• Although digital citing is becoming more accepted, if possible do not cite a source according to Kindle location or other digital information. Locate and provide the print-version page number. If you are unable to locate the print version, see the guidelines in Turabian 9, § 17.1.10.
• If an online source is an identical reproduction of a print version (e.g., a journal with the original page numbers or a scan of a book on Google Books), do not include the URL. Include the URL only if the online source differs from the print version.
• In scholarly works it is most common to NOT capitalize pronouns referring to deity; however TKC leaves this up to the authors.
