This course engages at length and in depth with the classic topics of God, Christ, and salvation in the Christian theological tradition, aiming to foster critical reflection on the scope and coherence of Christian teachings as well as on the defining concerns and conventions of Christian systematic theology, and to cultivate in students the interpretative and analytical skills required for advanced work in the discipline. In this course, students will engage intensively with one or more major texts from the Christian doctrinal tradition, with a particular focus on modern and contemporary sources.

In this course, students will engage intensively with one or more works of significance from the Christian doctrinal tradition in order to explore the doctrinal loci of God, Christ, and salvation and their related themes. This will typically involve close study either of a series of excepts from one major theological text or of a variety of excepts drawn from a range of doctrinal texts, though on occasion other modes of engagement and other resources of significance may be pursued.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
