Evangelism is presented as a thoughtful, sustained, relevant presentation of the Christian faith, in word, action and relationship, embodied in the community of the local church. Discipleship is presented as the passing on of Christlikeness. This course will examine the various ways the local church has presented the Christian faith outside its doors. This course will discuss the
process and implementation of discipleship. We will examine how both evangelism and mentoring can work together in and through the people and the programs.

An introduction to the systematic study of Christian doctrine according to the evangelical tradition. Topics covered include prolegomena, revelation and Holy Scripture, the doctrine of God, creation, humanity and sin.

Long before 1500 global Christianity had stretched from Iceland and Ireland to Mongolia and south to Ethiopia. Across this vast area people of faith confronted dramatically differing and constantly changing circumstances. They made decisions about culture, political power, the spiritual life, the canon of Scripture, and doctrine, decisions which shaped the flow of human history, and they experienced both success and loss on the grand scale. This course follows their story. The narrative of the course and the reading from materials they wrote carries students into the dynamism of early Christian life.

Paul's prison epistle to the Philippian Christians typifies the apostle's pastoral concern for those under his care. To better understand Paul's message, we will fully investigate the historical, literary, cultural, and rhetorical context of the letter. In addition, we will engage in a theological inquiry of the letter within the larger framework of Paul's Christology, soteriology, and eschatology. It is hoped that by the course's end, we will all share paul's attitude of 'joy in the midst of suffering'.

This course, which will interact extensively with the epistle to the Ephesians, provides the basis for a theological-missiological understanding of missional nature of the people of God, sent into the world as witnesses to Christ and his Kingdom.
