Church, Society, & Ethical Issues in Asia – Onsite Day Course

Church, Society, & Ethical Issues in Asia (IS560, 3 Credits, Onsite)
12 January – 12 May 2023, Thursdays, 9.00 am-12.00 pm 

The Asian context raises a wide range of challenging issues for individuals and the Church.  In this context, theologically grounded and philosophically informed responses are needed in order for the Christian faith community to not only “do the right thing” but also to be a witness in the wider community.  This course will provide a survey of approaches toward understanding these ethical dilemmas, how to facilitate thoughtful discussions on these issues, and how the Christian community can be more influential as salt and light in the world.

Jarred Jung, MDiv / PhD Studies, joined Cru in 2006 and ministers in Asian contexts. He has worked in campus ministry and most recently has lectured in developing seminaries. His passion is for teaching students how to apply theology to every square inch of their life through the lens of the Bible. He enjoys talking with students about theology, hosting people for dinners, and most of all living life with his wife Shelley and his three children.

 

 

Derek Atkins, ThM, is a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (USA), and taught English to undergraduate students in East Asia for many years. He comes to EAST with a desire to prepare Christian workers for ministry throughout Asia and beyond.
