DMIN 7313 - Missional Theology (3)

This course produces practicing theologians within a broad and deep imagination concerning the mission of God. Theology, is this sense, is not simply the deposit of answers to questions arranged by topics within a systematic compendium to be applied to the church and world in ministerial praxis. Rather, theology here is the pursuit of a living God who calls communities into the world of God’s concern. If God is active in relationship to the world, there should be evidence of that. It should, in some sense, be describable. This understanding of God makes theology a task, not simply a deposit or settled content from which strategic or practical directions are derived.
