Introduction to Theology (THEO110)
(01/09/2023-04/19/2023)
Course Memo
In this course, students will be introduced to the loci (distinct doctrines and themes) of_x000D_
Christian systematic theology. These loci include the doctrine of God, with particular_x000D_
reference to the themes of creation and fall, and the doctrines of Christ and the Holy_x000D_
Spirit, with particular reference to the themes of salvation and the life of the church. The_x000D_
course will also aim at showing students how these loci interact with each other – i.e.,_x000D_
how they form a system of thought that lays the foundation for the teaching and praxis of_x000D_
the church. In short, the course aims at: studying doctrinal loci in relation to their biblical_x000D_
foundations and historical debates; showing modern perspectives in relation to the_x000D_
plurality of voices in the Christian church; examining how these doctrinal loci interact_x000D_
with each other; and reflecting on the practical meaning of these doctrines in the life of_x000D_
the modern church.
