The heart of Christianity, its strangest and most fascinating set of beliefs, rests in its understanding of who God is. Far from viewing God as an old man in the sky, Christian proclaims God to be “Trinity,” outside of space and time, and yet a Triune God that is love and that loves what God has created. This course explores the Christian doctrine of God through its most significant controversies, both ancient and modern. Students will acquire a more thorough context for the Christian understanding of God, as well as a more robust sense of this understanding as it continues in the present.
