Cultures both shape, and are shaped by the people that belong to them. Hence, how do cultures shape understandings of the gospel and the practices of Christianity? Conversely, how might Christians offer meaningful critiques and be influencers of their societal cultures in ways that are faithful to the gospel?
This course explores culture and its different dimensions as they relate to the beliefs and practices of Christianity.
It will also investigate the concept of contextualization in relation to:
- Cross-cultural mission, and
- The local church in a world of changing cultural norms and postmodernity.

From ancient times, man has always inquired into his nature and origins, resulting in many differing world views. This course presents the biblical teaching on man and sin, identifies and corrects current unbiblical ideas and teachings with regard to the same, and points out practical implications thereof.
