THEOL 150 - Call and Response: Discipleship in the Bible and the Modern World

Credits: (3)
Students will examine the New Testament concept of discipleship in light of the Christian understanding of vocation. Beginning with an investigation into the Old Testament origins of divine call and human response, students will sift through the stories, speeches and persons found in the New Testament to establish for themselves an understanding of modern Christian call (discipleship) and what demands it may make on those who call themselves Christian. Various media (film, poetry, music and art) relevant to the biblical texts will also be employed in this examination. (Fall)
