John Wesley and the Mission of God

An examination of the mission of the church today in terms of the Trinitarian mission of God (missio dei) drawing upon learnings from the life and experience of John Wesley and of early Methodism as a movement of evangelism, renewal, and mission within the larger Christian Church. Students will explore the witness of John and Charles Wesley, the dynamics of early Methodism, and the relevance of these precedents for comprehensive (holistic) mission today, especially in the current Canadian context. Same as MISS 629.
