Intro to Theological Disciplines
3-week class begins June 8 | 9:00 am | Room 214
Led by Austin May
This class seeks to introduce people to the various fields of theology in order to recognize, familiarize, and be able to engage the various disciplines. This will allow us to see that there are multiple perspectives, and vantage points, requiring various skills and interests that can be useful to the task of theology.
We will address 3 major disciplines of theology: Systematic, Historical, and Biblical. The structure of each class will roughly be as follows:
Teach: Define and distinguish the theological discipline at hand.
Example: Give an example of a theological insight using the method at hand.
Participate: Provide several theological insights - then asking the class to explain which one is proper to the discipline that was discussed.
Provide: Recommend valuable resources within the given branch of theology.
CLASS DATES: JUNE 8, JUNE 15, AND JUNE 22
