Christian Doctrine & Practice

This course introduces students to the core doctrines that articulate Christian belief, as well as distinctive practices Christians pursue to live out and deepen their faith. In the first semester we will conduct an examination of the core Christian doctrines, focusing especially on the theology of Paul in his New Testament letters, distilling his thought into a conceptual outline of the Christian faith. Second semester we will engage twelve disciplines of the Christian life, studying their biblical roots, historical development, and conceptual rationale.
