Section outline

  • The New Testament

    The focus this week will be the mission discourses in Luke, and Matthew, and what they suggest about the task of mission. We will also consider Jesus’ own encounters with the other, especially the non-Israelite other, and what that tells us about how we go about encountering people on the journey.
