TH 801 Studies in Trinitarian Theology The Triune God is the ultimate reality that Christians love, worship and serve. The doctrine of the Trinity has been the most crucial and central theological locus in the history of the Christian theology. In particular, there was a renaissance in the Trinitarian theology on a global scale in the late 20th century. On the basis of this initial insight, this course will explore in depth the history, major proponents and models of the doctrine of the Trinity throughout church history. In addition, this course will engage with a variety of models of the contemporary Trinitarian theology, analyzing their practical implications for church ministry, mission, personal and public ethics and spiritual formation. Prerequisite: Enrollment in the Master of Theology program or instructor permission. Three hours.
