Foundations, Revelation, and God, also known as Systematic Theology I, introduces students to the discipline of theology: its importance, nature, and methodology. The course examines the primary source of theology: God’s self-revelation, both general and special. With these foundations laid, the course explores the doctrines of God and his relationship to the created world, both visible and invisible.
