Description
Students in this course will critically examine the mission of the church in the world in light of eschatology, or ?the last things.? Topics to be explored include the ways in which different theologies of life after death impact the church?s understanding of its mission in the world, the political implications of Christian theologies of cross and resurrection, and the contemporary significance of biblical understandings of New Creation. This course may be used as a concentration elective in the Community Advocacy and Social Justice Ministry Specialization or to meet the Biblical Studies/Theology and Social Ethics elective requirement. It cannot be used to meet both requirements.
