Description
At a time when people increasingly believe Christianity "poisons everything", how can we recover the logic and beauty of the original mission that captured the Roman world without method or might? Grounded in a detailed historical and exegetical study of "mission" in the New Testament and its times, this course seeks to learn lessons from the evangelization of the pre-Christian world and apply these to our witness in a post-Christian world. Lectures include:
- The Rationale for "Mission" Before and After Jesus
- What is the Gospel and Who Proclaims It?
- Beyond "Every Christian is and Evangelist": The Mission of the Ordinary Christian
- The Jesus of the Gospel in Ancient History and Modern Criticism
- Promoting the Gospel in the Public Square: Challenges as Opportunities
