Christian Practice and Belief

This course introduces students to the distinctive practices Christians pursue to live out and deepen their faith, as well as the core doctrines that articulate Christian belief. Through the year we will focus on twelve disciplines of the Christian life, studying their biblical roots, historical development, and conceptual rationale, but also experientially engaging each discipline and reflecting on those experiences to pursue growth. Alongside this, we will also conduct an overview of 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.
