Academic: This module offers an introduction to missiology as an aspect of applied theology and as an academic subject in its own right, drawing from a wide range of disciplines including biblical studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, geography and history. It should enable the student to assess other theological disciplines from a practical missiological perspective, and to approach the OT and NT scriptures from the viewpoint of a pioneer cross-cultural missionary.

Practical: This show more course takes a fresh look at the Great Commission given by Jesus to his disciples. It will prepare you to serve as a cross-cultural missionary, or to support others engaged in this vital task. It should equip you to -- understand what the Old and New Testaments say about mission -- assess the mission strategies adopted by Jesus and by Paul -- evaluate diverse cultures from a biblical perspective -- address some important controversial issues in world mission -- understand the sociology and psychology of conversion -- see how the history of gospel mission may help us today -- prepare to go into an unreached area and present the gospel to an unreached people -- develop strategies suited to the particular people you are approaching -- recognize and overcome many of the difficulties faced by pioneer missionaries. show less
