BIBL 1023 - The Bible and Christianity

This class introduces students to the Christian Bible and the fundamental tenets of the Christian faith, and is designed for those who have little or no familiarity with Christian faith and practice. Special emphasis is placed upon understanding the different components that make up the Bible; introducing students to the main characters and stories of the Old and New Testaments; and helping students understand the fundamental claims of Christianity with respect to God, the intent of creation, the foundational problem of the world, the way in which God solves that problem, and the practices that Christian faithfulness entails. Enrollment into this course only with the approval of the Chair of Theology and the enrollment officer for the Office of Global Initiatives.
