What to expect:

Faith and Culture introduces you to historical Christian doctrines as a framework within which to evaluate the working academic and social assumptions of contemporary culture. In addition to investigating several models for Christian engagement with culture, the course encourages the positive formation of a biblically informed worldview as a foundation for creative interaction with contemporary thought and cultures. By the end of the course, you will:

  • Come to a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the crucial significance of certain central doctrines of the Christian faith for life and thought.

  • Develop a method for moving from Christian theology to cultural engagement.

  • Gain a sense of the cultural milieu of society as related to secularization, postmodernism and religious pluralism and of how Christian theology helps to engage the milieu.

  • Come to a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the historical development of doctrine in the early years of the church and its significance in contemporary culture.

  • Develop the intellectual habits and practical virtues corresponding to our Christian faith.

Social Injustice, Volume I

Free PDF or MOBI e-book when you purchase the course!

Written by leading evangelical scholars, Social Injustice: What Evangelicals Need to Know about the World explores the Christian heritage of social justice from biblical, historical, and missiological perspectives. The ten chapters will challenge Christians to consider their role in stepping into social justice issues from a distinctly evangelical position. The topic is of considerable importance to the ongoing mission of God in the world. With increasing numbers of millennials and Gen Zs focused on their contribution to global change, Social Injustice provides a solid theological foundation for engaging some of the most important social issues of our day.
