Overview

By completing the 13-credit Certificate in Systematic Theology, a student will have a strong grasp of the classical topics (loci) of Christian theology, grounded in God’s self-revelation in Scripture and in dialogue with the creeds and confessions of the church.

The coursework within the certificate will present the classical Reformed understanding of these doctrines, but will also engage alternative conceptions within Roman Catholicism, liberal theology, and other streams of the evangelical church. Significant attention will also be given to covenant theology as the structure of redemptive history and to its implications for the various doctrines.
