The Doctrine of Revelation

The course explores how God has revealed himself to human beings. After an opening module about revelation in general, we focus the rest of the course on the Scriptures as God's written revelation.  By the end of this course you should be able to:

• Explain the difference between general revelation and special revelation.
• Explain the concept of Jesus Christ as the locus of revelation.
• Defend personal convictions regarding the inspiration, inerrancy and authority of Scripture.
• Evaluate the Bible's sufficiency as a guide for faith, life and ministry.
• Use three basic principles of interpretation to evaluate exegesis.
• Explain the role of contemporary revelation and its relationship to the Scriptures.
