MT502: Missiological Hermeneutics (4 Units: 160 hours). Keon-Sang
An.
DESCRIPTION: This course introduces students to
the relationship between biblical interpretation and the theology and practice
of Christian mission. Participants will grapple with the importance of mission
for reading the Bible and the teaching of the Bible on mission. This will
include the missiological orientation of biblical texts, diverse paradigms for
missional practice in Scripture, and issues of contextualization as students
seek to understand the significance of mission for reading the Bible and for
embodying Scripture’s witness in their contexts. LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students who successfully complete this
course will have demonstrated the ability: (1) to describe the emergence of
missiological hermeneutics, including its varieties and major proponents, as a
development of biblical hermeneutics; (2) to evaluate recent proposals regarding missiological
hermeneutics in light of the historical context of Christian use of the
Bible in mission; (3) to explain how the mission of God, as a unifying theme of Scripture,
relates to diverse Scriptural paradigms of mission; (4) to apply biblical paradigms of mission to
particular mission contexts. COURSE FORMAT: This course will be conducted online on a
ten-week schedule aligned with Fuller’s academic calendar for a total of 40
instructional hours, which is outlined below in the assignment and assessment
section. Students are required to interact with the material, with each other,
and with the instructor regularly through online discussions, reading, and
other assignments that promote active learning. REQUIRED READING: 1,092 pages of required reading. Barram, M. “성경,
