MA in Bible and Mission
Redcliffe College, Gloucester, UK

This postgraduate course is for those wanting to reflect on how mission fits into the Scriptures, and how to use the Bible to engage missionally in a variety of cultural contexts.

One of the modules is "Bible Engagement in Intercultural Contexts", which includes:

  1. The Bible as an agent or tool of mission.
  2. The role of Bible Translation in mission and in relation to Bible engagement themes, such as contextualisation and orality.
  3. The Bible in relation to other religions and dialogue.
  4. Bible Engagement in Western contexts: for example, in the Arts, the Media, and Politics.

This coming year, Eddie Arthur, UK Director of Wycliffe Bible Translators, will be teaching several sessions. Ida Glaser will also be providing input on the Bible in relation to other faiths. And a team from Bible Society will be coming in to lead a couple of sessions on UK Bible Engagement.

The MA is one of a number of activities of an initiative at Redcliffe called the Centre for the Study of Bible and Mission, which aims to serve the Church by engaging in research, teaching, writing and speaking on mission in the Bible, and the Bible in mission thinking, practice and training.

Thanks very much for highlighting the course. The two themes of missional hermeneutics and Scripture Engagement are very exciting to teach!

www.scripture-engagement.org is required reading for students, so thanks for providing such a rich resource as well.

Every blessing,
Tim, course leader for the MA in Bible and Mission and Director of Redcliffe's Centre for the Study of Bible and Mission.
