Course Description:
This seminar addresses contemporary social and global issues (e.g., global warming, farm crisis, health care) as they are informed by the Judeo-Christian prophetic and biblical tradition. Students explore different understandings of prophetic ministry within their historical and communal contexts. Reflecting on their own ministry, students consider the impact of social and global issues on the church and the actual living out of an approach to life and ministry which combines a vital spirituality with a lived proclamation of the gospel.
