Mobile Ed: Ministering in Multiethnic Contexts Bundle (2 courses)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
In the Ministering in Multiethnic Contexts bundle Dr. Soong-Chan Rah looks at how the church can reach an increasingly diverse culture. The changing demographics of American society and the growth of global Christianity present both challenges and opportunities for the spread of the gospel. In these courses, Dr. Rah covers how cultures can impact modern-day ministry and vice versa. He discusses the need for the church to develop a theology of culture as it looks to reach multiethnic and multicultural contexts. In Dr. Rah’s words:
We will be examining different principles of how the gospel and culture interact, and by expanding on that, we will be able to discuss what it means for the gospel to speak into different cultural contexts and for the culture to intersect with the gospel message. We also want to make sure that we delve into some of the practicalities of ministry in a multicultural context.
