Course Description

This course provides a rigorous examination of the foundational doctrines of systematic theology. Students will engage classical and contemporary theological methods while exploring the doctrines of revelation, Scripture, and the nature of God. The course begins with prolegomena - investigating the nature, sources, and methods of theological inquiry - before turning to the doctrines of revelation (general and special), Scripture (inspiration, authority, and interpretation), and theology proper (the existence, attributes, and triune nature of God). Throughout the course, students will interact with major theological traditions (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, and Evangelical) and contemporary challenges to classical theism.
