About this Course

“Nearly all the wisdom we possess,” John Calvin insists, “consists of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves.” Nothing is more foundational in theology than a right understanding of God. But we can only know God in His revelation of Himself to us. And when we do this, we discover that He has revealed fundamental truth about ourselves. This course examines the great truths about God and Humankind that make up the prelude to the Gospel of Redemption in Jesus Christ. Tutorials and off-site readings will focus on engagement with and understanding of primary sources.
