SYT S280   THEOLOGY OF MISSIONS
This course is one part of a four-course emphasis on missions. This course features a systematic approach integrating the understanding that God wants all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth within the study of doctrines such as the Trinity, church and ministry, the kingdom of God, and eschatology to affirm important biblical principles of missions. It will also evaluate various theologies of missions from a scriptural and Lutheran point of view.
