Not only is the Old Testament the history of the Jewish people, but it also holds God’s earliest teachings of sin, repentance, and justification. This course identifies the points of importance for a more complete, historical, and contextual understanding of God’s revelation to man.

THEOLOGY SURVEY I

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a general survey of Bible doctrine designed to synthesize and outline each of ten major areas of systematic theology, including prolegomena, bibliology, theology proper, Christology, angelology, and pneumatology.

RATIONALE
Many students enter a Liberty University program without any doctrinal or theological background. All students need to be grounded in doctrine to know what they believe and why they believe it. This course, along with THEO 202, gives students a comprehensive exposure to systematic theology for the purpose of equipping them in ministry, whatever their vocational goals might be.
