BTC 503 Foundations for Integration
This course offers an overview of the biblical narrative, including an examination of themes such as creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. The distinctive contribution of each stage of biblical history to that overarching narrative is considered. Special attention will be given to how the biblical narrative provides insight into the central concepts of Christian theology that help us understand God, the world, humanity, sin, redemption, and eschatology, and a Christian understanding of our place in that story. Critical hermeneutical issues will also be discussed as they arise in the study of the narrative. 3 credits
