Course Description

Christ is not only Lord of our Sundays, but what we do in our everyday lives – from sports, food, and the arts, to the music, leisure, and Asian cultures that we enjoy. The course provides the theological perspectives for understanding the different aspects of our everyday lives, so that we can bring them under the Lordship of Christ!
