Previous Classes
Systematic Theology
The Doctrine of Scripture
“Did God really say…” From the Garden of Eden to today, Satan’s fundamental strategy against humanity has been to undermine trust in the authority of the Word of God. In this class, we’ll confront his subtle temptations by examining the evidence for why the Bible is trustworthy down to every jot and tittle. Scripture, history, and science will be brought to bear on our study, equipping you to understand, believe, and defend the authority of scripture. We will learn irrefutable proof that all of scripture is indeed breathed out by God and able to make you wise for salvation (2 Timothy 3:15-17). Part one of a multi-class study of Systematic Theology.
Class led by Dr. Jason Whitlock in the summer of 2024. Audio recording available.
