    Mission Studies at
    Johannelund Theological Seminary
    Klas Lundström

    The theological programs of Johannelund are tailored to meet the needs of


    those planning to enter the ministry in the Church of Sweden or the Swedish
    Evangelical Mission (SEM - or EFS in Swedish). Studies at Johannelund
    provide also a foundation for any profession where theological and religious
    studies are important - such as ministry in other denominations - but also
    a career in a wide variety of non-ordained ministries, including education,
    missions and social service. The theological program offers a combination
    of theological and pastoral courses, as well as mentor groups. A cooperative
    program with Uppsala University means that students at Johannelund study
    a portion of their degree at the Department of Theology of Uppsala
    University. A number of other courses of study are also possible at
    Johannelund. A Bible School is held each term, as are many other courses
    offered in cooperation with SEM's adult education colleges (folkhögskolor).
    One such course program is Theology for Life, directed to people who
    have an interest in theological reflection on their ministries at home, at
    work, in society, and in the local church.

    The place of Mission Studies


    Mission Studies is part of a larger section called "Church, Mission and
    Society". The following courses, related to mission studies, are offered at
    Johannelund:

    A basic course on B-level named The history of the Christian church and
    missions (15 ECTS credits). This course builds on the one-semester A-
    level course (30 ECTS credits) at Uppsala university. The course integrates
    the church history and mission history of Sweden, Europe and the other
    continents to a comprehensive whole. A number of seminars also offer an
    opportunity for investigating contemporary issues in church and mission.

    A course on B- and/or C-level named International Field Study (30 ECTS


    credits) offers an opportunity for students to visit countries in "the South",
    to collect local source material and to write an essay. The program is
    sponsored by scholarships through the Swedish Mission Council.

    A course for external students on A- or B-level named Mission from Third


    World perspective (7,5 ECTS credits). The course includes a survey of
    church history in the South as well as theological and mission initiatives
    from the South.

    Literature courses on B-level (7,5 or 15 ECTS credits) according to the


    interest of the student. These are individual literature-courses for students
    who want to study a particular issue within Church and Mission Studies.

    A course for external students on A- or B-level named Congregational


    development (7,5 ECTS credits). This course offers some tools for
    understanding church life and society in order to develop healthy
    congregational life.

    A course for internal and external students on A- B- or C-level named To


    start anew (7,5 ECTS credits). This offers some tools for understanding
    society and to start new initiatives in congregational life.

    Teachers in Mission Studies at Johannelund


    Klas Lundström (Th. D.) is the main teacher of the section. His most recent
    publication is his dissertation Gospel and Culture in the World Council of
    Churches and the Lausanne Movement (2006). In the period 1999-2003 he
    was the editor of a number of field-study reports from Uppsala university,
    such as, Lucha y esperanza: Popular initiatives in Peru and Nicaragua (2001);
    Church Life and Christian Initiatives in Tanzania (2002); and Church life
    and Theological Education in Tamil Nadu (2003). In the near future he will
    start to write a survey of church history in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

    Staffan Grenstedt (Th. D.) is the main teacher for Practical theology, but
    his area of specialization is within Ethiopian Church history. His dissertation
    named Ambaricho and Shonkolla: From Local Independent Church to the
    Evangelical Mainstream in Ethiopia (2000) traces the origin of the Mekane
    Mission Studies at Johannelund Theological Seminary 513

    Yesus Church in a part of Southern Ethiopia. More recently (2006) he has


    published "Vad har Nakamte i Etiopien med Uppsala att gora?" (What is
    the connection between Nakamte in Ethiopia and Uppsala).

    The Future of Mission Studies


    Mission studies will, as a part of the changes due to the Bologna process,
    be included in a broader section in Johannelund called "Historical and
    Practical Theology". This means that some courses may be designed to
    offer a more practical and integrated approach to the issue of mission. We
    hope also that the section can offer a number of new and more specialized
    courses in the future. This will partly depend on the economic situation
    and if Johannelund will be able to offer the full Bachelor degrees in theology.
