This course will examine four essential doctrines of the Bible, including 1) the authority of Scripture, 2) the Triune Godhead, 3) the divinity of Jesus, and 4) man’s redemption.
We will begin with how God has revealed Himself in His Word and then progress to the other doctrines to make practical applications of these essential doctrines to our service to Christ.
