Course Description:
History is “His Story”: the account of God at work establishing His purposes and His Kingdom. In this course, Dr. Kane covers the historic development of the Christian world mission in chronological sequence from Pentecost to the birth of the modern missions movement (1800). He then introduces the modern period along geographical lines: Asia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. The course culminates by evaluating the missionary achievements of the past and the prospects for the future.
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Provide an overall picture of the Christian world mission from Pentecost to the present.
2. Trace the development of the indigenous church in major regions of the world.
3. Discover and discuss problems that are peculiar to both church and mission in the world today.
4. Appreciate the magnitude of the remaining missionary task.
