Course Dates: June 17-21, 2019
3 Credit Hours
COURSE DESCRIPTION
An exploration of some recent thinking about both the centrality and the nature of mission in the
teaching of the Scriptures, and an opportunity to reflect on the relevance of a biblically faithful
theology of mission for the church’s obedience to Christ in our contemporary world.
COURSE INTEGRATION
If it is true that “the church exists by mission as fire exists by burning” (oft quoted comment by Emil
Brunner), and if, as will be argued, the Scriptures are as much “missio-centric” as they are
Christocentric, then a full-orbed biblical vision of God’s mission and our involvement in that mission
should be foundational for our biblical hermeneutic, our preaching, our church programming,
certainly for evangelism and other forms of outreach—in short, for every other aspect of our lives
and ministries as God’s people.

COURSE OUTCOMES
1. Through the readings, class discussions and written assignments you should…
• come to a better understanding of what it means to have a missiological hermeneutic of
Scripture, understanding its message as not only Christocentric, but also “missio-centric.”
• come to view our involvement in mission and evangelism as an outworking of God’s own
trinitarian commitment to the renewal of his creation.
• grapple with the balance of God-centered and human-need-centered motivation for mission
(missions for the glory of God and missions as a response to the lostness of humanity apart
from Christ).
• understand God’s missionary purposes for Israel as a light to the nations and the relevance
of this insight for a New Testament understanding of the church in mission.
• wrestle with the concept of “holistic mission” (mission as both proclamation of the gospel
(evangelism) and “incarnational” demonstration of the reality of God’s kingdom), and discuss
how these two dimensions should be balanced in light of the full biblical picture of God’s
mission in this world.
• reflect on a biblical balance between the concern for the local church to be “missional” in its
own context and the place of “missions” understood as church planting among “unreached
peoples.”
• think creatively about the connections that should exist between a theology of mission and
evangelism on the one hand, and the concrete practice of these things in the ministry of a
local church on the other.
2. In terms of your personal value-system, you should also seek to…
• long more deeply for “the earth to be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the
waters cover the sea.”
• grow in your personal commitment to God’s new-creation mission for this world, both in
terms of evangelistic proclamation and incarnational representation.
• develop a growing missionary burden for the peoples of this world, desiring to partner with
God’s Spirit in his purposes for them.
• desire to lead God’s people into a greater engagement with God’s mission in the world.
3. In the area of skill development this course seeks to help you…
• develop an ability to trace out the story of God’s mission through both Testaments of
Scripture.
• build confidence and vision for transforming actual church involvement in mission in a
manner consistent with a growing understanding of an overall biblical theology of mission.

ASSIGNMENTS
Pre-Course Assignments:
1. Carefully read the two text books for this course, and then write a comparative review of
about 2000 words. You may want to think about questions like the following:
• What are the distinctive emphases of each book? How are they different?
• What is most helpful about each? What are their respective strengths?
• What weaknesses would you identify from each?
• Where did you find yourself agreeing or disagreeing with these authors on important
points and why?
• In what ways do they complement each other?
• To what extent do they present similar or different visions of mission?
Due first day of class (June 17, 2019) (20%)
Post-Course Assignments:
2. Research paper: Choose one of the following options and write a good quality research
paper of about 2500 words.
a. A biblical-theological analysis of a passage of Scripture with significant missiological
implications:
i. Choose one of the following passages
1. Joshua 9-10 (the account of the Gibeonite deception)
2. Psalm 72
3. Isaiah 19:18-25
4. Zechariah 8 (cf. 2:11)
5. Acts 15:13-18
6. Romans 4:16-18
7. Romans 15:7-14 or 14-33
8. 1 Peter 2:4-12
9. Revelation 5
10. Another passage that you see as having significant implications for mission(s)
(Please be sure to clear this with the prof).
ii. You should be careful to relate the passage you have chosen to its own context
and then to themes from the course that are relevant to this particular passage.
Where does this passage fit in the unfolding revelation of God’s desire to bless all
the nations? How does it relate to earlier and later parts of the story? How does
this particular passage contribute to the overall picture of God’s purposes for the
world?
iii. You should consult a range of commentaries and other relevant sources.
iv. In your conclusion, you should reflect briefly on the questions: What does your
study suggest about the practical outworking of the church’s missionary activity?
b. An analysis of the theology of mission that emerges from one particular book of the
Bible (suggestions: Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Ruth, Psalms, Isaiah, Jonah, one of
the Gospels, Acts, Romans, Philippians, 1 Peter). You may want to focus on one portion
of a book or on one or more significant passages rather than trying to deal with the
CM/THEO 621 Spring 2019 Page 5
entire book. Discuss how the theology of mission from the perspective of this biblical
author is consistent with, fills out, and/or challenges aspects of the theology of mission
that we have looked at in this course. What does your study suggest about the practical
outworking of the church’s missionary activity?
c. A treatment of some aspect of one particular topic in the theology of mission.
Appropriate topics could include: the significance of a missional biblical hermeneutic,
motivation for mission, the balance between evangelism and the pursuit of justice in
mission, mission and creation-care, mission and suffering discipleship,
contextualization, incarnational mission, the fate of the unevangelized, or the role of
local churches in mission as seen in Paul’s letters. Your paper should include reflection
on the question: What does your study suggest about the practical outworking of the
church’s missionary activity?
