THEO 6304 - Contemporary Christian Doctrine
3 credits
Since its inception, the Church has articulated what it believes in the form of specific confessions or teachings, called “doctrine.” Unlike “dogma,” doctrine is formed in the matrix of scripture, tradition, and culture, with the goal especially of explaining Christian dogma. THEO 6304 discusses the art of theological reflection, pursues the question of the role of doctrine in the church today, and applies these to questions of contemporary Protestant and evangelical theological debate.
