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 ages, 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.
Recommended reading: The Mission of God, Christopher J.H. Wright (IVP Academic, 2006, 582 pp.)

- NOTES - Until further notice, all notes will be posted in the PDF format on Google Docs. They should automatically load and be visible onscreen after you click the link, but can also be downloaded and viewed later on most computers. If you cannot view the document after it is downloaded, you may need to download and install Adobe Reader. (If this link is broken, simply google "Adobe Reader," go to the appropriate website and follow the directions to install the program.) The PDF format being used will allow you to view and print the notes, but does not allow you to copy or alter text.
- AUDIO - Until further notice, all audio will be posted in the MP3 audio format. Currently, it is necessary for you to download the entire file to your computer and then play it with an appropriate media player.

Thanks Pastor...These notes help to stay up-to-date. We haven't been able to attend every class. These notes help.
Bruce,
Good to hear you preaching. Stacy told me several years ago you'd become a pastor. But I never got around to looking you up. She reminded me yesterday. It's a long time and distance since Ansbach. Things have certainly turned out for the better for you.
I'm working on my MDiv. right now at Corban School of Ministry Northwest (former Northwest Baptist Seminary). Fun stuff.
Blessings to you. I'll stop back by and listen again after my papers are done.

Hi Malcolm,
Great to hear about your MDiv program. Yes, I've been working in church ministry since 1983. Which campus are you at? I lived in the Northwest from 1978 after H.S. graduation until 2009.
Bruce
