| Summary: | EDUCATION IS AN opportunity for cross-cultural mission on behalf of the eschatological Kingdom of God. The cross-cultural exchange that happened between Jews and Gentiles at Antioch (Acts 11:19-26) was a moment of true education that makes the town a fitting metaphor for educational excellence: an eschatological location at which the old creation meets the new in unpredictable encounters that leave all parties forever changed. A course in any field across the curriculum is an event of situated Christian mission whose devices, relationships, and goals invite the manifestation of the eschatological Reign of God. Awareness of this fact can inform pedagogy fruitfully. |
