The Doctrine of the Trinity
5-week online course. Wednesdays from 6:30 PM ET - 8:00 PM ET from September 28 - October 26, 2022.
Description
The Trinity is arguably the central doctrine of the Christian church, shaping its worship life in baptism, prayer, and confession. And yet few doctrines seem more confusing or less relevant to the daily life of faith. Christians who speak clearly and confidently about creation, the love of Jesus, and the promise of the kingdom often stumble when trying to explain what it means to say that God is Trinity - or why it matters.
This course will review the history and development of trinitarian doctrine, its content, significance for the Christian faith, and how it can be explained without any reference to three-leaf clovers.
