BBL 3173 Introduction to Theological Methods

Three hours (On Campus)
This course introduces students to the field of theological studies, including its historical development and broad perspectives on theological traditions. Special emphasis is placed on methods, sources, and the process by which we arrive at theological positions. Students will complete the course with a better awareness of their own theological lenses (or assumptions) and be able to articulate their own approach to the construction of doctrinal commitments. 

Offered on campus Spring semester (odd-numbered years)
