Leadership, Culture and the Kingdom of God

Catalog description

This course analyzes culture using an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on sociological and theological perspectives. It examines and contrasts the different cultural dimensions that distinguish societies and social groups from one another, to assess the way in which the "Kingdom of God" relates to culture. The course interprets the concept of 'Shalom' from the biblical and theological perspectives to devise a framework that addresses cultural tensions and dissensions in light of the redemptive purposes of God's kingdom.
