Asia is pluralistic with many religions co-existing within the continent. This course introduces and compares the beliefs, values, practices and impact of different religions in Asia. Students will examine the key similarities and differences between these Asian religions and with Christianity. They will also evaluate the implications on Christian missions, evangelism, and discipleship. The goal is to lead students towards a greater level of understanding, analysis, and appropriate approach regarding different Asian religions.
