MNST 6130 The Gospel in Asian Context
Asia, birthplace of the world's religions, contains the fewest populations of Christ followers. How does Christian witness work in Asian contexts? Come explore contextualization of the good news of Jesus Christ in ways unfamiliar to many westerners. This hybrid course combines cultural immersion with online pre- and post-travel components. Participation of local scholars, leaders, and fellow Asian students builds a global learning community that grows through home stay and times of study, reflection, and worship together. Learners participate in an international conference interacting with practitioners in Christian ministry throughout the Buddhist world. Scholarships assist participants in raising additional non-tuition expenses. See current course listings for up-coming travel locations.
