Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Christian Heritage and Mission

Description:

In this course we will 1) look at the reality of suffering and martyrdom as part and parcel of every Christian as demonstrated in the Scriptures; 2) analyze the various missionary movements, which understood this concept and were ready to pay the price; 3) become aware that the 20th Century was one of the bloodiest centuries for the followers of Jesus Christ; 4) analyze how the Christian call to martyrdom differs from the concept of martyrdom in other religions, such as Judaism and Islam; and 5) enable the student to consider the cost in following Jesus Christ, which may involve suffering and martyrdom at home and abroad.
