THE700 Applied Biblical Theology
Truth never changes. The questions that confront us at the surface of our lives and ministries where we are called on to make decisions, adjust approaches, and create solutions are in constant flux. The challenge is in finding the connection between the immediate and the eternal; that wisdom from above. This course is designed to help students investigate the sweep of Scripture at depth and to articulate a biblical theological framework for understanding the problem, and for developing and applying solutions rooted deeply in eternal truth.
