Description
Wherever one does ministry, the character of the context shapes the forms of evangelism and mission that are viable, appropriate, and faithful. This course explores the work of contextualization—how the gospel is proclaimed and embodied contextually. This course includes a four-night immersion trip in Dane County, WI, as well as classroom sessions to help students develop an initial skill at exegeting contexts for Christian ministry. Building on a theological foundation, it considers how context is reflected in the forms of ministry and witness observed.
