Honor, Shame, Guilt, and Sin – Online Day Course
Honor, Shame, Guilt, and Sin (IS523, 3 Credits, Online)
12 January – 12 May 2023, Thursdays, 1.30 pm-4.30 pm
This course helps students understand the complexities of human, cultural and psychological realities related to honour, shame, guilt and sin, with the goal of integrating cultural and psychological understandings with biblical understanding and theology. These help with the communication of the gospel in a manner that is intelligible, subjectively relevant and meaningful to people of specific cultures. Students will also look at honour, shame, guilt and sin from multiple theoretical perspectives and how they as a psycho-social-cultural construct affect human functioning.

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.
