Course topics

Reflect

Pause and make a connection.

Build a Pauline mission argument clinic

Choose a source-listed theme and two Pauline passages. Compare approved interpretations, map context and evidence and propose a limited teaching application. Include an ethical limitation and revise your argument after a peer challenges the move from ancient text to present practice.
