Doctrine of God | Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer (Fall 2023)
The course will begin with an introduction to the doctrine of God (the project; the problems; relationship to Christian life and worship). Then, we will move into questions like: How can God be known? (general and special revelation) What is the nature of God and God's relationship to the world? Why does the Christian church emphasize God as Trinity? How do we understand descriptions of God: all-knowing, all-powerful, omnipresent, and transcendent?
The doctrine of God is an infinite subject, but this 8-week course will provide a framework for thinking carefully about God. Our hope is that your mind and heart will grow in love for God. We pray that as your imagination is awakened by listening to the way God has revealed himself, you will desire to align with his will and represent his character in your life.
This 8-week course begins Thursday, Aug 24, 2023 and ends Oct 12.
6:30-8pm at the Lake Forest Campus: 100 N Waukegan Rd. Lake Forest, IL.
