Building God’s house - 23 April 2010 |
|
So far in the Guided Reading Course we have looked at some introductory matters (how to read and how to think); prayer; revelation (general and special); God (classical theism and trinitarian theology); humanity (created and fallen); and the incarnation.
We turn now to the doctrine of redemption. This is obviously a very large topic, and we’ll be spending a number of weeks on it. We’ll seek first to get a biblical overview of the work of God in redemption, so that our approach is directed as much as possible by the shape of the Bible itself. Then we’ll look at covenant theology, and consider how Reformed theologians have traditionally gone about the task of bringing together the biblical material. Finally, we’ll move on to some more systematic texts, returning to Calvin as well as some other writers.
The reading for session 22 of the Guided Reading Course is Peter Leithart, A House for My Name, pp. 13-128. Questions for reflection are found at the end of most sections.
