OUR TEAM
The Mosaic Course began as a seminar series: ‘Jesus: the Only Way,’ offered by Dr. Mathew P. John in churches, university campuses and public venues.
As demand for the series increased, he recruited a team of Christian scholars from various ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds and launched a booklet series on Christian response to world religions. The project was later rebranded as the Mosaic Course, assimilating the content of the booklets into online course modules.
