Doctrine of Salvation and Eschatology: A Reformed Perspective (TH113) begins by examining the character and nature of the Holy Spirit and His work in the lives of Jesus and the church. Following this, it discusses various aspects of Christian life, such as the sacraments, prayer, faith, justification, and sanctification. The second half of the course addresses eschatology from a theological perspective, focusing on its foundations in the OT and using a broad brush to touch on topics such as resurrection, sin, judgment, and the kingdom of God. The course concludes with a look at asceticism and how the church interacts with culture.
