Mission is central to how Christians respond to the good news of Jesus Christ. But the word mission is used in many different ways in the church, often ambiguously and not always positively. This course offers students renewed and clarifying perspectives on mission. Topics include what it means for Christians to be in mission, practical ideas for living out Christian mission at the local and global level. Course participants will explore Christian thought about mission in Scripture and Church history; different theologies of mission; congregational practices and habits of mission; and a range models for engaging in mission in a secular society and a globalized world.
