Overview

American culture seems more fractured and polarized than ever. Every day there is some new group expressing its outrage against another group and with every episode the “from many, one” motto of the nation pulls apart just a little bit more. How would Scripture appeal to us in such a social and political context? It turns out that the Bible has much to say about our view and treatment of “different others” in a national and church context.

In the five lessons contained in Love One Another, Dr. Mark Saucy takes us on a journey through the Old and New Testaments as we seek God’s heart on the matter of unity in our diversity.

Each lesson begins with a series of lectures which are followed by a quiz, a review of the answers to the quiz, and a reflection assignment. You will also find a link to the lesson outline at the beginning of the video series in each lesson. Feel free to download these outlines and use them to supplement your learning in this course.

For further review of the topics highlighted in these lessons, you will find a list of recommended resources at the conclusion of lesson 5.

Dr. Mark Saucy's interests lie primarily in the areas of systematic and biblical theology. Before coming to Talbot he and his family served as missionaries for 13 years with SEND International in Kyiv, Ukraine, assigned to encourage and develop theological education in Eurasia.

Saucy has taught regularly at theological institutions throughout Ukraine and the Evangelische Theologische Facultait in Leuven, Belgium. Since coming to Talbot in 2007, Saucy continues his affiliation with the Eurasia region as Director of Talbot's extension program at Kyiv Theological Seminary and as member of the editorial board of the Eurasian theological journal, Theological Reflections. He is the author of The Kingdom of God in the Teaching of Jesus, articles in The Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, Trinity Journal, Bibliotheca Sacra and other numerous other works for the Union of Evangelicals-Christians Baptist of Ukraine. He is active in his local church and strives for theological reflection and teaching that is transformative for his own soul and the souls of his students into the image of the Lord Jesus Christ.
