Thinking Christian: An Introduction to the Theological Tradition
What do Christians actually believe? It seems the answer should be straightforward. But then why is there so much confusion and debate on that question even today? This four-week class will explore the practice of Christian theology—the study of and talk about God. Each session will
explore one of four questions of central importance to Christian belief:
• Who is Jesus?
• What is the Trinity?
• What is Salvation?
• What is Christianity?
In the process, we’ll open up the long and diverse tradition of Christian theology, become familiar with some major theologians of history, learn the reasons for and implications of Christians holding certain beliefs, and consider how modern theologians make use of this vast trove of
resources in responding to contemporary challenges.

The class is therefore intended for adults who want to go deeper in exploring the key questions of their faith and develop their own theological tools for addressing life’s challenges.
