An introduction to Christian doctrine and theological inquiry. Students will become familiar with theological methods and approaches to the use of biblical data, theological literature, and personal transformation in shaping their theological identities. This first course in Theology will focus upon prolegomena and the doctrines of God (including revelation), Christ, and Holy Spirit. An overall Trinitarian orientation will be developed through the image of an integrated web rather than traditional vertical categories or silos. Various theological sub-disciplines will be used, including biblical, historical, and systematic approaches and priority will be given to evangelical emphases.
