Syllabi
In this course we will examine selected theological, ethical and missional commitments of the Church of Jesus Christ in our contemporary world. Our chief purpose will be to explore the myriad of ways in which church groups, thinkers, writers and spokespersons have envisaged, understood and interpreted the connection between Christ and culture. These includes the relationship between the “Christ and Caesar”, the word and the world, the interface between Ethics and economics.

Advocacy And Human Rights, Evangelical Advocacy: A Response To Global Poverty
Syllabi
This course is designed to prepare Christian leaders to identify entry points for engagement in social justice advocacy in the context of the global struggle for human rights/justice. In order to approach such advocacy from a uniquely Christian perspective, participants will examine the Christian witness to the state (at all levels) and evaluate the role followers of Jesus have in walking with the oppressed to seek justice for them. Case studies from a variety of Christian and secular organizations will highlight the various levels at which advocacy can occur.
Varieties Of American Evangelicalism, Evangelical Advocacy: A Response To Global Poverty
Varieties Of American Evangelicalism, Evangelical Advocacy: A Response To Global Poverty
Syllabi
Evangelical Protestantism has played a vital role in shaping American history, culture and religion. It is estimated that some 25-35% of the American population (c. 70-100 million) today identifies with this movement. Far from being a monolithic entity, however, the religious, ideological, and social allegiances of evangelicalism are quite diverse. In addition, evangelicals maintain a somewhat paradoxical relationship with American society, functioning simultaneously as a politically powerful interest group (insiders) and as cultural antagonists (outsiders). This course is designed to introduce students to the history of evangelicalism, its characteristic religious patterns, and its ongoing negotiations with contemporary American culture.
