TH 642 - Christ, Sin, and Salvation

(3.00 cr.)

An introduction to the doctrine of atonement and its implications regarding Christian faith, practice, and doctrine. The course considers three questions: Is belief in the doctrine of atonement a fundamental Christian claim? Is the atonement of Jesus effective for all people or is it effective only for some? What theory of the atonement is the best explanation of how and why Christ's life, death, and resurrection are necessary to save people from sin?
