30 courses with the subject THEO, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
THEO 1511Introduction to Theological Studies 1: God, Man
and Scripture (2 credits) In this course, students will study what the Bible teaches about God, Scripture, man, sin, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. During this process, they will learn to approach theology from the foundation of God’s lordship. Furthermore, they will gain preliminary exposure to the disciplines of exegetical, biblical, historical, systematic, and practical theology, assessing their unique contributions to understanding the whole counsel of God. Throughout this course, students will learn to apply their exegetical skills in an increasingly synthetic manner.
THEO 1512Introduction to Theological Studies 2: Salvation
Church, and the Last Things (2 credits) In this course, students will study what the Bible teaches about the events of salvation, the nature and mission of the church, and both personal and general eschatology. This investigation will reinforce the previous semester’s emphasis on approaching theology from the foundation of God’s lordship. Students will conclude their studies with a brief foray into Christian ethics, course descriptions 88

THEO 3530Advanced Studies in Doctrine 3: Church and
Eschatology (4 credits) These three courses will further develop the students’ understanding of the major doctrines of the Christian faith.
