The Christian thought major delves into the essence and interpretation of Christian belief in Jesus Christ as expressed through historic creeds and manifested in diverse faith communities. You'll critically analyze core Christian doctrines: the meaning of Christ's life, crucifixion, and resurrection; how faith in Christ shapes conceptions of God; and interpretations of creation, human nature, sin, redemption, the church, and end times. These concepts will be explored through multiple theological lenses while considering historical and cultural contexts. Key areas of study encompass the Trinity, Christological theories, church doctrine, theological views of humanity, end-time beliefs, and spiritual practices.
