IS560/TS561 Church, Society and Ethical Issues (3 credits)
Thursdays: 9.00 am-12.30 pm
How can Asian believers address ethical issues well?
While many Christians have personal opinions about various ethical issues, often they have not taken the necessary time to consider biblical and contextual implications of those issues in a deliberate and thoughtful manner. The course addresses common issues Christians in Asia today must consider as they seek to live as “salt and light” in the world.
