THEO 402 Doctrine of God

A biblical, historical, and theological study of the existence, nature, and attributes of the triune God. Special attention will be given to the nature of God in Christian Scripture, as well as a general consideration of His works and His relation to the world.

Each Christian is faced with a variety of competing perspectives on the nature of God and God’s relationship to the world. Given such a variety of non-Christian perspectives, the student should be prepared to articulate and defend an orthodox, evangelical Christian perspective, with special attention given to the existence, nature, providence, and triunity of God.
