THEO 5113 - Understanding Christian Vocation

This course focuses on the way in which the identity of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit shapes and sharpens our understanding of the coherence of the Bible, the purpose for creation, the nature and purpose of human beings, the meaning of salvation, the place of academics and work, the foundational practices and dispositions of the Christian life, and the basis for ethics, especially within our increasingly technological world. Special attention is given to sustained analysis of biblical texts, attending to the way in which the scriptural witness integrates theology with spiritual formation, ethics, work, worship, and discipleship.

Class 3. * This course can be waived if the student has completed the LETU undergraduate Theology and Vocation Core requirements with at least a B average.
