NoneCourse Description:
The primary intent for this semester course is to help students understand what God has revealed through his Son, Jesus Christ. Students will come to know how God, from all eternity, planned for us to share eternal happiness with him, which was accomplished through the redemption Christ won for us. This will become evident as students study and reflect on the scriptures, starting from creation, the fall, the covenant relationships throughout salvation history, and the culmination of the covenant through the Paschal Mystery. This course will not just emphasize the sacrificial death of Jesus, but the fact that not even death could conquer him and his vision of the Kingdom of God. In the Resurrection, it is God who is victorious, and in and through God’s victory Jesus is eventually recognized as Lord, that is, as one with God. Students will also come to understand that we too share in the saving redemption of Christ and how we are all called to a life of discipleship. This way of life can only be nurtured through developing our relationship with God through prayer.Special Note:
