Course Description:

The role God intends for humanity in developing community and society as part of His created order is explored. It examines the theological doctrines of Creation, Fall, and Redemption, and the cultural mandate as the basis for humanity’s involvement in community. Students engage in analytical discussions, research, and presentations on the theology of Christian social engagement.

How This Course Benefits Students:

All humans are part of a culture and a society. The role a Christian plays in society should result not only in personal development but also be for God’s glory. This course leads the student to consider and understand God’s purpose in creation and the establishment of society. It explains salvation history, how God expects a person to respond to his saving love by being a steward of his created order for his glory. Students are able to personally apply what they learn to their own ministry contexts and help others understand and experience fruitfulness as a member of whatever society they belong to.

Why This Course Is Important:

This course helps students understand God’s ultimate purpose in the world as the establishment of human community for His glory. The Biblical and theological basis for human community and the place of individuals within each community is examined, discussed, and applied to personal and ministry contexts so that the student and those he/she ministers to will live up to God’s expectation for His ultimate glory.
