Theology Program: Introduction to Theology
Starting Sunday, September 17, 8-9:30 a.m.
The primary purpose of this class is to teach you skills for developing a Christian mind, by helping you construct a solid foundation for thinking through life's most important issues. Why be concerned with theology? What is truth? Is there such a thing? Can we be certain that our truth is the right truth? What is the Christian view of truth? How do we respond to a culture that devalues truth? Does God still communicate through direct encounters today? Introduction to Theology serves as a foundation for the rest of the classes offered in the Theology Program.
This class will take place weekly on Sunday mornings, 8-9:30 a.m. at the Resource Center.
