The purpose of this survey course is to introduce the study of Christian Heritage and Mission in such a way that church history is understood in light of God's mission and God's mission is understood in light of church history. The theoretical scope of this course is tremendous; it covers 2000 years of human history on six continents. It will be made more manageable through learning-centered teaching methods and by focusing on a limited set of themes, geographical regions, and time periods which were most influential for subsequent developments in the church's mission. Students will also be exposed to a variety of historical writings such as biographies, historical theology, social history, and even historical fiction. Its purpose is to introduce students to a broad area of study so that they can choose subsequent courses to take in the area of Christian Heritage and Mission. A deliberate effort will be made in the assignments for this course to help students to see the connections between contemporary church life and the history of Christian mission in earlier eras.

This module focuses on a biblical-theological vision for the missional nature of Christian faith and the patterns of life, action and speech which that requires. We identify the importance of this for an understanding of the nature of the Church and its perceived mission in other times and places. Learners form a vision for incarnational service in, with and through the church, in dialogue with social and cultural factors that contribute to ministry in the 21st century. The learner will identify and develop personal postures, approaches, and capacities that support effective, confident cultivation and leadership in missional communities. The Openseminary prologue consists of 12 weeks of online readings, assignments, and discussions in preparation for the on-ground engagement. Openseminary M.T.S. program course.
