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

Church, Society & Ethical Issues in Asia (Onsite)
IS560, 3 Credits
Thursdays, 1.30 pm – 4.30 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 to resolving these ethical dilemmas, facilitate thoughtful discussions regarding them, and give suggestions for the Christian community to be more influentially salt and light in the world.

Registration deadline: Friday, 29 December 2023.

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.
