Theology of Missions – by Dr. Raymond Song (IS540A, 2 credits)
Tuesdays: 7.00 pm – 9.15 pm
Will you join a mission trip in the future or mobilize others to go? This course will better equip you through a study of the underlying principles and theological presuppositions of the global Christian mission. It provides theological foundations for the global mission of the church, and will attempt to help you unify and integrate a wide range of theological themes in and around the issues of mission. Basic issues that confront the missionary will be investigated, as well as the more complex and contemporary issues.

Selected Thursdays: 7.00 pm – 9.15 pm

NT510 New Testament Narratives (3 credits)
Tuesdays: 2.00 pm – 5.30 pm, 20 July – 20 November 2015
There’s only one Jesus Christ, so why are there four Gospels? This course will uncover the way each Gospel gives us a compatible, yet distinct, portrait of the character, life, and teachings of our Lord. It will also explore what Jesus continued to do and teach through the early church as seen in the book of Acts. You will learn about the first-century context of Jesus and the early church as well as how the world-changing movement Jesus started continues to impact our lives today. Pre-requisite: BS510 Bible Study Methods and Hermeneutics. Students taking this course for audit (i.e. not for credit), will not be required to fulfil the pre-requisite.
