Theology III
3 Credits
Tuesdays, 6:30 pm - 9:15 pm; Apr. 13 – Jun. 8
First Baptist Church (Kirkland)
Professor: James Hansen, M.Div.
Through this course, students will gain a balanced, Scriptural understanding of three of the most intriguing facets in all of systematic theology: the spirit world (angels and demons), the mission of the Church, and the events of the end times. An integration with pop culture will assist the students in determining what our society is saying about each of these topics. Though a continuation of Theology I and Theology II, this class will be open to all new students wishing to explore these issues as well.

Jesus and His Followers: A Comprehensive Overview of the New Testament

Thursdays, 6:30 pm - 9:15 pm; Apr. 15 – Jun. 10
Firsr Baptist Church (Kirkland)
Professor: Dwight Paulson, Ed.D.
For many Christians, the New Testament is familiar terrain. We've charted through the Gospels and Epistles numerous times with success. And yet, we often approach these 27 books as individual patches of fabric without realizing how they all weave together to create a complete tapestry. This course is designed to help students become more familiar with the New Testament story, as they encounter the people, places and events that shaped the faith and practice of the Early Church.

Crossroads Bible Church
Proctors: James Hansen, M.Div. and Dwight Paulson, Ed.D.
We live in a post-Christian era, a day when most people do not view reality from a Christian perspective. As Christians, we can no longer expect to effectively evangelize the lost unless we understand their worldviews; namely, the different ways they think about God, humanity, moral order and purpose. This course seeks to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of non-Christian worldviews (i.e., Postmodernism, Darwinism, Islam, etc.), as well as establish the truth and value of the Christian perspective on life. Participants include Dr. Norm Geisler, Dr. Doug Geivett, Dr. Larry Vardiman, Dr. Fred Dickason, and J. Kirby Anderson.

Please Note: Students taking the course for credit must also register online for the Worldview Apologetics Conference.
