AP 562-1 Course at a Glance

Course Description

The course will begin by introducing students to the topic of culture, providing a preliminary definition and some examples of the way we engage with culture on a daily basis. From here, the course will lay out the biblical foundations for cultural engagement using the cultural mandate as the basis for our under- standing of Scripture’s call to cultural engagement. Next, the course will briefly assess different models for cultural engagement held among Christians and look to Scripture for an appropriate model to adopt for engaging and analyzing culture. In the final section, time will be spent thinking through the issues, covering topics like art, secularization, race, and focus on how God’s word is a reliable resource for the answers to the toughest questions thrown at us as believers in the 21st century.
