HUMANITIES & SCIENCE: TRANSFORMING WORLDVIEWS
Gain practical understanding of our Christian response to life’s issues and to work towards human flourishing as God has intended.
VISION
Core Focus
If we look carefully at this world with open minds and hearts, we will see God’s character revealed everywhere. He is in the created order, in the amazing events of human history, in great works of art, in the highs and lows of human experience and in the richness of cultures.
This course takes us on a journey to find out more about the God who speaks through all of these, and then challenges us to renew our minds and take a thoughtful Christian view into the world, our world, and make a lasting difference. It includes the humanities and science and technology, looking at the achievements and failures of individuals, societies, and nations, past and present.
