About This Course

Introduction to PAX Story Arc
This course is part of a series of courses based on issues of the multi-sensory, multimedia publication StoryArc1. Each course focuses on a key topic that young Christians of color want to know about yet are challenged to find relevant, thoughtful, biblically based resources that answer their questions. We have curated a diverse collection of Jesus centered art, scholarship, and storytelling, primarily created by people of color, that provides teaching, guidance, and opportunities for reflection. Many of the contributors are experts in their field, while others are everyday Christians on their own journey of discovery. Each has a valuable perspective to share on what it means to be a peacemaker and follower of Jesus in today’s world.
1. All StoryArc issues can be found online at madeforpax.org.
