What This Course is All About
Introduction to Theology 101 opens the door to the world of Theology. As Crown Institute is a school of theology it is imperative students are aware of the numerous divisions within theology. A review of traditional theologies like Systematic, Exegetical, Historical, Practical and Biblical Theology to non-traditional theologies like, Emerging Theology, Open Theology, Better Covenant Theology, Liberation Theology, Trinitarian Theology and Incarnational Theology are included in this initial class. Our textbook is “How to Think Theologically” by Howard W. Stone and James O. Duke, and in additional there are articles which will challenge the student to process and analyze different theological positions.
