Christian Marriage & Family Life in Asia (Day Course)

LF560 Christian Marriage & Family Life in Asia (3 credits)

Thursdays: 9.00 am-11.45 am, 9 January to 5 May 2017

Christians are living in a very challenging era. Everywhere we turn to reach people for Christ, familial and marital problems are overwhelming us with grief and deep questions like “Why is the problem so prevalent around the world?” This course provides the biblical foundations and precepts relating to Christian marriage and family life. It also explores a survey of the existing major research findings of cultural values and challenges in marriage and family among representative Asian cultural groups to promote biblically healthy marriages and families.
