THEO 3013 - THEOLOGY OF COMPASSION Compassion for others, especially for those in need, is a fundamental tenet of biblical theology. Compassion for humankind was the motivation for Christ’s mission to earth, as He mentions at the inauguration of his ministry in Luke 4: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” This course reviews the biblical foundation for compassion and traces the Church’s theological interpretation and practical application of compassion throughout history.
