Details for Triune God and Creation

Do you think that the doctrine of the Trinity is just too hard to understand, even though you know that this doctrine is foundational to Christian faith?  This unit provides students with an opportunity to reflect deeply on the doctrine of the Trinity – both its historical development and its relevance for the contemporary church.  It also explores God’s providential work in the creation and addresses controversial issues such as the creation / evolution debate.
