Culture and Transformation (Online) – Evening Course

 

Culture and Transformation (Online)
IS530, 3 Credits
Wednesdays, 7.00 pm – 9.00 pm 

This course examines how cultures change, the dynamics and processes of change, the place of change agents, and the speed and intensity of change. The implications of such processes are examined in the social, political, economic and religious aspects of society. This aims for students to examine how their own cultures, societies and communities may be effectively transformed for God’s Kingdom purposes.
