The One and Triune God
There are few doctrines more central to the Christian faith than the Trinity. Affirmations of belief in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are at the heart of the Church’s creed. And yet there are also few doctrines of the Church less understood and appreciated than that of the Trinity. This course helps to explain some of the basic doctrines of the Church concerning the unity among and diversity between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Thank you for enrolling in this course on The One Triune God, the core of the course is made up of twelve video lectures. In addition, to each video lecture there are twelve corresponding lessons with optional study questions and suggestions for further reading. You may view these twelve lessons here. (These lessons are only required for those students taking this course for College credit through their accrediting institution.)
