The Graduate Certificate in Social Theology & Justice equips students with the biblical and theological foundations for understanding, teaching, and developing ethical social mission strategies. In a world of great human need where relativism and subjectivism seek to rule, students will be able to analyze and evaluate competing ethical models and argue for, develop, teach, and missionally model strategies that apply God's mission to communities, poverty, race and ethnicity, criminal justice reform, reconciliation, and other areas of social concern.
The alert student is conscious of issues related to communities, poverty, racism, immigration, injustice, human suffering, the refugee crisis, and the need for reconciliation and redemption. The Graduate Certificate in Social Theology & Justice equips students to reflect theologically on transcultural issues such as race and ethnicity, family and healthcare, and poverty and other issues of social justice in the communities around them.
