TCH502‒ Introduction to Classic Christian Theology: Description

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Knowing the fundamentals of Christianity helps us understand who God is, what He’s done, how we can expect him to work in our lives, and what He expects of us. Theology is in fact essential for followers of Christ‒ in some cases serving as the only mechanism protecting them from forsaking their faith. We need to know Bible doctrine in order to recognize its many distinctives as compared to competing faiths, and teach them to others.

And though the study of theology may seem as if it will be overwhelming or boring, a simplified approach makes it not only doable, but enjoyable. This concise distilled introduction to essential doctrines helps students treasure the unchanging pillars of the Christian faith.

This course breaks down the task into minimal doctrinal topics. Each of the ninety-four chapters (2-4 pages each) in this small book explores a different doctrine in a way that is concise, easy to understand, and historically rooted.
