TH 210Christian Theology I
This is the first of two courses introducing students to Christian doctrine. Students are invited to reflect theologically on the biblical narrative of election, creation, sin, Israel, and Christ’s incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension as lifted up in the church’s creedal confessions about Trinity and Christ. Attention will be given to how God’s being and work draw us into God’s mission and give shape to faithful practices and ministry within particular cultural contexts. Fall 2025-2026 Van Driel (Hybrid)
This is the second of two courses introducing students to Christian doctrine. Students are invited to reflect theologically on the biblical narrative of God’s gifts through the spirit of the risen Christ, including justification, sanctification, vocation, the church, the sacraments, and the eschatological consummation of God’s reign, as lifted up in the church’s creedal confessions. Attention will be given to how God’s being and work draws us into God’s mission and gives shape to faithful practices and ministry within particular cultural contexts.

Supralapsarian Christology holds that the incarnation is not contingent upon sin, but central to God’s fundamental intentions for creation. The last 15 years has seen a renaissance of this approach, with a variety of new studies exploring its implications not only for Christology, but also for biblical studies, ethics, pastoral care, and missiology. In this course we will read some of these contributions, focused on the ways in which supralapsarian Christology offers a fresh way of telling the biblical narrative in a new missional era.
