This class continues the study of Christian Doctrine by Shirley Guthrie, a required reading in seminary that has introduced thousands of laity, students, and theologians to the tenets of the Christian faith. Guthrie, largely non-dogmatic, does not examine doctrine as a static, systematic mental exercise, but instead ties doctrine directly to the reality of life as lived in our society, our church, our homes, and our places of work and worship. It connects theology with the deeper questions we seek in life and invites the reader to question and reach their own conclusions: Does believing this cause conflict with my life? How? Why?
