About The Course
In this course, we engage with the Book of Acts with critical awareness of the hermeneutical methods used. We explore how Acts contributes to the wider fields of pneumatology and missiology, including ongoing debates as to the nature and priorities of mission. We also consider our own context and practice, reflecting on how our context impacts our interpretation of Acts and how Acts speaks into our missional practice, both to challenge and affirm.
