Religious Movements in Asia (Day Course)
IS570/TS573 Religious Movements in Asia (3 credits)
Fridays: 2.00 pm-5.30 pm
This course examines the beliefs and practices of the major religions of Asia (Christianity included) as well as their “folk” expressions. The historical and national contexts and overall trends of these religions will be examined to achieve the goal of a deeper understanding of how our pluralistic Asian context impacts our identity and witness as Christians. This will also aid our ability to respect and live in harmony with people of other faiths and perspectives.

Exposition of Second Corinthians (Evening Course)
NT538A / NT538 Exposition of Second Corinthians (2 credits / 3 credits)
Tuesdays, 7.00 pm-9.15 pm, 18 July to 18 November 2016
2 Corinthians is the Apostle Paul’s letter to a vibrant church in the ancient city of Corinth. The Christians there loved the Lord but struggled to live Christian lives in a culture that was fast-paced, materialistic, intellectual, multi-cultural, and multi-religious—similar to contemporary cities. Paul loved the Corinthians and wrote to help them grow in grace. As such, those teachings found in 2 Corinthians are relevant for us. In this class, we will hear Paul’s pastoral heart to a growing and vibrant church and will learn to apply those principles in our lives.
