Culture-Changing Christian Leaders

This course explores the contours and characteristics of the current culture and seeks to identify ways in which Christians can be agents and leaders of change within the culture. Students will learn how to identify current manifestations of cultural concepts by understanding their origin and impetus. They will also learn of the various responses the Christian can take in reacting to culture, and how they might be able to exercise leadership in particular and various arenas of the culture. Theological and philosophical challenges to Christian faith will be considered, and students will be challenged to thoughtfully consider best practices for engaging and attempting to change the culture with Christian faith.
