Metanarrative of Redemption

This course is a reprise of God's Story of Redemption, and is being taught at the Pastors' and Ministers' Development program (PMD) of Bethel World Outreach Church, an Every Nation member church, in Brentwood, Tennessee. [God's Story of Redemption was taught as a 26 week Sunday School course.] The course begins September 3, 2014, meets weekly (with some exceptions such as the holiday season and normally the first Wednesday of each month), and will conclude on May 27, 2015. Altogether the course is scheduled to meet twenty-two times.

Course Objective

 Students should grow in their theological understanding of the biblical metanarrative of redemption in terms of its grounding in the purposes of creation, its cohesiveness throughout Scripture, and its objectives in the present and coming age, and consequently grow in their awe of God, their eschatological hope for the return of Jesus Christ, and their desire to holistically engage in God’s mission now.
