Theology

Welcome to the Theology class. 

There are two parts to this class. The first part is Lesson 1. It covers three charts that summarize the Bible. It's important to have a big picture view of the Bible before examining it in detail.  
Keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. Philippians 1:9 NLT
The second part is Lessons 2 and following. They consist of the ten topics of theology. It rolls out in a pattern of studying verses about a specific topic followed by readings from the text book on that topic. 
​
Unless a lesson is defined by a specific reading assignment or activity, spend two hours to complete each lesson. 

Don't forget to join the Modesto Bible College (MBC) Group so you can have your paper reviewed and review others. ​
