CMIN 5363 - The Meaning of Christian Community

3 credits

This course explores the implications of ‘mission’: What does the church exist for? Emphasis is placed both on a biblical understanding of the people of God and historic expressions of that community through the centuries. These observations will then serve as a framework for critically evaluating current issues facing church life and organization. Students will be encouraged to consider how they might be express biblically centered expressions of Christian community in diverse ethnic, social and global contexts.
