This course introduces the student to the method and central concepts of Christian theology. Special attention will be given to how the various theological topics help us understand the world (its origin and goal), humanity (the image of God and humanity’s fallen state; its individual and corporate nature), redemption (salvation and life together in the church), and eschatology (how the future shapes our present life and perspective). Students will demonstrate critical thinking about these doctrines and to develop their own theological perspectives. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:1. Demonstrate a detailed knowledge of Christian theology. Compile the major themes and doctrines of the Christian faith. 2. Develop their own theological perspectives. 3. Present their ideas in a clear and concise manner by writing a well-argued essay on a theological topic. 4. Work effectively in a group setting.
