A Survey of Theology

Sessions

References

 

How can we hold our faith intelligently and integrate it into the great range of human experience we know as adults? How do the doctrines of our faith make a coherent unity? How does our faith relate to the many other beliefs and values we are committed to in modern life?

 

We took up the challenge of these questions in a ten part survey of theology from Sep. 15, 2002 to Dec. 8, 2002. Our primary reference was Christian Theology. An Introduction. Third Edition. Alister E. McGrath, Blackwell Publishers, Oxford, 2001.
