In Theology of Everyday Life (PC151), Dan Doriani shows how theology can inform social and personal life. From eating and playing, to friendship and weddings, this course looks at the importance of developing a deeper sense of the relevance of Scripture and Christian ethics to physical and relational life. Reflecting deeply on what the Bible has to say about various everyday topics, Doriani points students toward rich ethical guidance and provides tools to help people find insight from Scripture for all of life.
