An overview of the major questions that Christian beliefs have addressed and of the most influential responses that Christians have given to them. We explore the variety of Christian understandings of God, God’s relation to the world revelation and scripture, Christ, the Spirit, Trinity, sin, salvation, sanctification, the church and its relationship to the world, and “last things” or eschatology. The class encourages students to address these topics in relation to contemporary intellectual, cultural, ethical, social, and political issues. A primary goal of the class is to apply theological wisdom in practical and ministerial situations.
