The Bethlehem Institute designed the course “Theological Foundations 1: Essentials of Christian Doctrine” to introduce students to a systematic treatment of theology, leading to both Christ-centered worship and the living-out of doctrinal truths. This course is an attempt to systematically present what the Apostle Paul called “the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27).

Students will study biblical topics by closely examining key biblical passages, answering provocative questions, reading select passages from Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology, considering sermons and writings from the ministry of John Piper, and inspecting Bethlehem Baptist Church’s Elder Affirmation of Faith. The student’s learning will be solidified through class discussion and various homework assignments.

This course is the first of two semesters, progressing through roughly the first half of Systematic Theology, including the doctrines of Scripture, the Trinity, God’s sovereignty, election, creation, sin, Christology, and soteriology.

Tuition does not include required text, Systematic Theology, by Wayne Grudem. Text is available for purchase from the Bethlehem Bookstore or the BCS Online Bookstore.

Advance registration helps our preparation. Register online at thebethleheminstitute.org by Sunday, February 5.
