Systematic and Biblical Theology I (706) Part II – Christus Victor

What This Course is All About

Systematic and Biblical Theology I is the study of the Son and his redemption of humanity. Who is this Jewish Messiah and what was his message? Is Jesus king now or are we waiting for his coronation? How does God redeem us from the captivity of sin, death and satan? Students will learn different historical atonement theories and then focus on two: Penal Substitution and Christus Victor. What does Better Covenant Theology teach about the life and death of Jesus? Does a biblical Christology demand a victorious eschatology?
