LE 645 - 1 Mission-Centred Church Planting
A biblical and theological foundation for mission planting and church planting. The course will explore a variety of approaches and models that church planters have used to begin new churches. Attention will be given to understand how a church could begin in a local community without a “core group” from a parent church; or, how a church could begin with an individual or small team “pioneer” approach. The course will also consider how a planter would start with “mission” rather than “church.” Consideration will be given to mission to new Canadians as well as cross generational mission. The course will include the development of a plan for birthing a new mission and/or church plant within the current denominational context of the student.

NT 645 - 1 The Gospel of John in Christian Theology
An examination of the initial reception of the Gospel of John and the memories of the author by ‘the School of John’ (J.B. Lightfoot) during the second century, bringing this work into dialogue with a close reading of the gospel as a ‘Paschal’ (Easter) Gospel and the reading of French Phenomenologist Michel Henry. By bringing together these readers of the Gospel of the Theologian (as he was known in antiquity), this course will consider the nature and discourse of Christian theology.
