The Missionary Encounter with World Religions

This course examines current approaches and models in the development of a biblical theology of religion.

Nothing demonstrates the pluralism of our world better than religion. Christians must be able to respond to the myriad of religious systems that permeate society. This course develops a biblical theology of religions by studying current models and approaches. Using major religious systems as examples, the lectures sketch five characteristics of all religions. Students will learn the major concepts in religious encounter, including the concept of elentics, various definitions of “religion,” and the five magnetic points of religions. The course culminates with practical suggestions for approaching world religions evangelistically.

These courses were acquired from the Institute for Theological Studies. They were taught by reputable seminary faculty and tend to have longer lectures and many more lessons than other Artos courses. Many of these courses only contain audio files with no other learning activities. We invite you to enjoy these vintage classics!
