#10105 Christian Foundations
Syllabus
Fall 2011
Course Description: The final course of Core 1 looks at the key doctrines of
Christianity. The foundation of
all doctrine hinges upon whether Jesus was who He claimed to be. Lee Strobel convincingly shows that
Jesus is indeed the Messiah. Watchman Nee builds on this foundation and guides you through the book
of Romans, unveiling the core doctrines of Christianity. The webinar and blogs will look at
the other epistles, from which we derive doctrine.
