Global Impact: Biblical Theology of Mission

This course is designed to help students develop a biblical theology of mission that shapes how the church intersects with the 21st Century world. Students will consider the essence of missio Dei (the sending of God) and of missio ecclesiae (the sending of the church) as rooted in the biblical narrative. Students will also consider global trends and the implications of those trends for life and ministry. Students will examine the validity of traditional and emerging models for global missions in light of the above. Please click here for a class syllabus.
