The intention of this class will be to construct a theological system which is consistent with the revelation of God as contained in the Old and New Testament scripture. However, we will not be doing it alone! We will utilize that unbroken tradition of interpretation distinguished as the classic evangelical and reformed faith. The course assumes a confessional approach rather than a skeptical/apologetic one. Continuity with the historic reformed tradition will be maintained through our text, The Westminster Confession of Faith.
