Communicating the Gospel in a Multi-Religious World
MISS 0624

Much of the New Testament was written by individuals engaged in missionary movement across religious and cultural boundaries. Today missional leaders in North America and around the globe must also be equipped to communicate the Good News of God’s reign in contexts that are religiously pluralistic. This course takes key features of the Christian gospel and looks at how these interact with corresponding beliefs in other religions. A focus of discussion will be on learning to apply the theology of the gospel in dialogue and ministry with people from other faiths.
