CUL 6301

In post-Christian 21st-century Western culture, Jesus and His claims are often dismissed as irrelevant, unethical, and even dangerous. Christianity is perceived by many as condoning historical injustices (e.g., slavery, patriarchy) and as contrary to contemporary mindsets (e.g., individualism, scientism, consumerism, nationalism). This course discusses how Christ-followers can better understand their neighbors and their concerns, while considering caring, biblically-informed responses to those concerns and exploring how to creatively demonstrate through actions and words the goodness, beauty, and truth of Christ.
