Everyday Theology 1 covers Foundations and the Decrees of God and will set the groundwork for a firm understanding of further doctrines. Topics include the doctrine of Scripture, of God and the Holy Trinity, of God’s Eternal Decree, of Creation, and of Providence. The class uses Confessing the Faith by Chad Van Dixhoorn and Confessing the Faith: Study Guide by Emily Van Dixhoorn as its texts. Class time will be used to discuss how each doctrine is supported by scripture, corrects error, and applies to life and prayer.

September 3 (First Class)
