Course Description:
The Anthropology and Eschatology Course consists of two parts. Theological Studies Part 4a – What is Man? and Theological Studies Part 4b – Your Kingdom Come. You are required to complete both parts to complete the Anthropology and Eschatology Course.
Course Description
This course is an introduction to the doctrine of man. In every culture throughout history, people have asked questions such as, “Who are we?” and “Why are we here?” The Bible tells us that we are God’s images, created to rule over creation on his behalf and to turn the world into his earthly kingdom. Sin has damaged us and complicated our work, but by God’s grace in Christ, we can be restored and our work can be completed. This course is based on the lecture series, What is Man?, produced by Third Millennium Ministries and hosted by Dr. Greg Perry with contributions from a variety of professors.
