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.
