The major New Testament literature which was authored by John, the beloved disciple, is the subject of this course.  Our focus will be almost entirely on (1) the First epistle of John and (2) John’s Gospel. Time will be given to considering the unity and diversity of the New Testament as reflected in this literature, especially the fourth gospel; how it’s unique approach to the story of our Lord becomes, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, part of the unified message of the four gospels.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

“Many leaders of the world believe that only through successful cross-cultural communication will mankind and society survive. Because of the vast improvement in transportation and technology in the last few decades, the world is indeed becoming a global village. However, man’s ability to communicate well with his once distant neighbours has not kept pace. The increasing contact between peoples who are culturally different is a major problem. Human communication between members of the same race, community, and even the same family is very difficult. How much more does communication between different kinds of people demand much attention and effort” (Del Tarr, 1996).

This course attempts to help the student who would become a ‘sent one’ to present Christ and His kingdom in his own environment and in other cultures. To do this, we address the nature of communication, the relationship of communication and culture, how to reach people where they are, how different people think and express ideas across cultures and subcultures within a culture, and how the thought and expression of people affect their behaviour.
