Systematic Theology 1 provides an in-depth exploration of the coherent framework underlying a faith’s belief system. The course emphasizes the development of a methodological approach that is applicable broadly across theological concepts and specifically to doctrines of God and Scripture. Students will engage with sacred texts as the primary source while incorporating perspectives from history, philosophy, science, and ethics to form a comprehensive theological worldview. This course focuses on two foundational areas:
- The Doctrine of God: Examining the attributes, character, and works of God as revealed in Scripture.
- The Validity of the Bible: Investigating the inspiration, authority, and reliability of Scripture as the cornerstone of faith.
Through this course, students will learn to systematically organize and articulate theological truths with intellectual rigor and biblical fidelity.
