This course calls and equips participants to join in the drama of God’s mission in the world, as ambassadors of the New Community forming in response to the work and teaching of Jesus Christ. Every human culture is a context for this awareness of God’s activity. We review the many diverse shapes the Gospel has taken in order to be intelligible across many social settings and historical epochs. The God who becomes incarnate among us is passionate about engaging human cultures.
CM 645 Creation Care in Scripture and Church (3 SH)
This course is a study of biblical perspectives on the physical world (i.e., God’s creation) and on the divine mandate for humans to care for this world. It likewise deals with the practical implications of this biblical call to creation care for the present day life of the church. The course includes (1) study of the biblical evidence-both Old and New Testament-addressing the issues of creation care and (2) consideration of creation care as focused through the lenses, each in turn, of the various theological and practical disciplines represented within the Eastern Mennonite Seminary curriculum. This course is open to persons with or without previous courses in Hebrew or Greek.
