This course has three objectives: (1) to introduce students to the task of Christian Theology, especially as it relates to the study of Scripture, (2) to familiarize students with some basic theological concepts and vocabulary, and (3) to teach the students how to construct a theological argument using the resources and skills gained through objectives 1 and 2. In order to meet these objectives, the course will examine the foundational doctrines of Christian theology, particularly the Christian confession: (1) That God the Father is the creator of heaven and earth, (2) That by being fully human and fully divine, the Son was able reconcile all creation to the Father, (3) That the church continues to live in the power of the life - giving Spirit. Because these doctrines were initially formulated in the period immediately following the New Testament, the course will concentrate on these first theologians as they struggled to make sense of the revelation of God in the person of Jesus Christ.
