Abstract

What are the educational needs of an adult layperson concerning world mission? What ought an introductory adult mission education study course attempt to teach? This thesis endeavors to answer the question in three chapters.

Chapter One articulates a concise theology of mission. Rooted in Scripture, especially the mission commands of the risen Savior, and drawing on the Apostles' Creed, The Book of Concord, and Martin Luther, Chapter One sketches the "who, what, where, when, why, and how" of God's mission.

Chapter Two surveys mission professionals to discover what they believe an introductory adult study course on world mission ought to teach. The first section collects and comments on responses from 78mission educators. The second section overviews courses currently published.

Chapter Three proposes objectives for a ten session introductory study course on world mission. The objectives include cognitive, emotive, and behavioral elements for each session, as related to that session's theme and Biblical basis.
