What are the really essential beliefs in the Christian faith? When you are studying a particular Bible passage, how do you fit it in with the teaching of the Bible as a whole? How do you explain things like the Trinity, predestination, angels and demons, or the end times? In this course we will survey the core Christian beliefs and provide a framework for understanding the teaching of the Bible as a whole.
Christian Doctrines is a part of the MIT (Ministers in Training) program, and is a required course for anyone participating in teaching ministries such as leading Bible studies or teaching Sunday School.
