Summer 2008

Explorations in the Relationship Between Gospel and Culture

• Course Number: ST 6000
• Credit Hours: 3
• Instructor: Dr. Don Carson
• Description: Many of the most complicated and urgent questions that divide Christians today circle around the ways in which disparate groups envisage the relationship between the gospel and culture. Even to articulate the challenge this way inevitably raises subsidiary questions about what we mean by "gospel" and "culture." This course attempts to chart some of the parameters in this debate, and then to work through a synthesis that is simultaneously faithful to Scripture and that accounts for legitimate diversity. This course is offered in conjunction with the Xenos Summer Institute and a separate registration and payment for the Conference is required. Please visit http://www.xenos.org/xsi/index

• Cost: $120 to audit; $150 for Xenos credit; $720 for Trinity seminary credit.Tuition for this class is increased as we will be bringing in meals while students attend the lectures.
