REL 212 - Reformed/Presbyterian Theology and Worship

Institution:

Westminster College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

What is the Reformed tradition, or Presbyterianism? What beliefs and practices distinguish the Reformed tradition from other Christian traditions? What do Presbyterians believe about the Sacraments (Baptism and the Lord’s Supper)? What about predestination? How does the U.S. government reflect Presby-terian polity? This course will explore these and many other issues that help us understand the hallmarks of the Reformed tradition. Through understanding Reformed theology, we will also examine Reformed worship. Readings from John Calvin’ s Institutes of the Christian Religion , the classic text for the Reformed tradition, will be an important part of the course.
