DFH470 Doctrine of Faith
Though human culture was part of God’s “very good” creation, sin has marred human creativity so that now culture is both for blessing and for curse. As God’s redeemed people, we can learn to be discerning rather than defensive, making and responding to culture under Christ’s Lordship, and so anticipate the coming restoration of all things. In an age of disbelief, when Christian faith is seen as unattractive and unnecessary, every believer can demonstrate that the God they serve is the God of truth, goodness, and beauty beyond our wildest imagining. This class will begin a conversation about seeing the culture and human creativity biblically, developing skill in cultural discernment, and being faithful in ordinary life as a witness to the gospel in our increasingly diverse world.
