Overview
audit for $375
Auditing means you are not required to complete assignments and the professor will not be reviewing your work. We strongly recommend full participation for maximum value.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Following the completion of the course, a student will be able to:
- Interpret the Bible as a document collective born out of and for God’s mission. This missional hermeneutic will span the meta-narrative of the canon.
- Articulate an overview of the history and development of the concept of mission in Christian thought.
- Understand the basic theological and theoretical tenets of mission leading to contemporary understandings.
- Articulate ways in which she or he is already participating in God’s work in the world, and propose potential ways for more deeply engaging in God’s mission.
- Enter into mission in ways which are spiritually sustainable–rooted and established in God’s love and presence rather than frenetic human endeavour.
