In this course, students will engage intensively with one or more works of significance from the Christian doctrinal tradition in order to explore the doctrinal loci of Spirit, church and world and their related themes. This will typically involve close study either of a series of excepts from one major theological text or of a variety of excerpts drawn from a range of doctrinal texts, though on occasion other modes of engagement and other resources of significance may be pursued.
