THEOC 2301: Scripture and Salvation History

This course is a capacious introduction to the Sacred Scripture, both in its historical unfolding as well as in its theological significance. God reveals himself through history. For this reason, the course considers some of the principal events of salvation history: the creation of the world; the creation and fall of man; the calling of Abraham, Israel, the prophets; and the coming of the Son of God, whose human life, death, and resurrection founded the Church. This course equips students with theological principles of Biblical interpretation so that students may discover the origins of the doctrines which the Church teaches today, especially those doctrines pertaining to the Trinity, Incarnation, and Sacraments.
