This course invites students to extended critical reflection on the form and substance of a range of key topics in Christian theology. By way of extensive analysis and seminar discussion of important historic and contemporary texts, we will investigate the form and content of one or more major Christian doctrines, e.g., Christology, Trinity, the doctrines of salvation, ecclesiology, creation and providence, eschatology. In addition to exploring the substance, important formulations and debates which surround such doctrine, we will also consider both the historical development of Christian theology and its systematic character with a view to enhancing our understanding of the nature, responsibilities and craft of Christian theology as such.
