Dr. Gerstner thoroughly addresses the subject of salvation and its impact upon the individual and society. These short and pithy discussions bring theology to life in the mind of the student. CH501 CHURCH HISTORY I: Handout Church History with Dr. John Gerstner [3 credit hours] The late Dr. John Gerstner often identified himself as a historic theologian. In this formative production by Ligonier Ministries, Dr. Gerstner presents the first half of his Handout Church History series.

MASTER S CONCENTRATION COURSES MC501 INTRODUCTION TO REFORMED THEOLOGY [1credit hour] Every CTS student is required to view the video series entitled What Is Reformed Theology? and to read Grace Unknown by Dr. R.C. Sproul. While CTS does not demand an allegiance to its theological orientation, it is our hope that each student will become awakened, as we have, to a deep appreciation for the lives and teachings of historic and present proponents of reformed doctrine which forms the foundation of the CTS curriculum. MC502 PREACHING CLINIC [1 credit hour] This course is designed to provide instruction for both the preparation and presentation of biblical preaching. A variety of homiletical principles will be taught with the goal of each student preaching in the classroom and a live church setting.

BIBLICAL STUDIES ELECTIVES Old Testament OT501 UNDERSTANDING THE OLD TESTAMENT [3 credit hours] This is a hermeneutical survey of the Old Testament. Concentration is given to an introduction of subjects such as: revelation; inspiration; the origins of writing; the development of Hebrew writing; and understanding literary genre for proper interpretation of the Old Testament OT502 OLD TESTAMENT SURVEY [3 credit hours] This course is a concise survey of each of the Old Testament books. Special attention is given to the history of salvation in the Old Testament, especially as it relates to the establishment of God s Rule and the coming of the Messiah.

4 BIBLICAL STUDIES ELECTIVES New Testament NT501 UNDERSTANDING THE NEW TESTAMENT [3 credit hours] This is a hermeneutic survey of the New Testament. Concentration is given to an introduction of subjects such as: the nature of inspiration; the development of the canon of Scripture; and understanding literary genre for proper interpretation of the New Testament. NT502 NEW TESTAMENT SURVEY [3 credit hours] This course will identify the occasion, content, and structure of the New Testament, including studies on important events, individuals, and ideas which constitute the environment in which the New Testament was written. Also considered is the prevailing theological message. NT507 THE BEATITUDES [3 credit hours] This course is an in-depth study of the Sermon on the Mount. In addition to a verse-by-verse treatment of Matthew s text, there is much emphasis given to how to interpret the Gospel of Matthew and the development of the Beatitudes in Matthew s Gospel. NT509 EPHESIANS: Principles and Practice of Christian Community [3 credit hours] This book study takes a verse-by-verse journey through the Book of Ephesians. In addition, the course gives much care to outlining a variety of principles for understanding how to interpret Epistle literature. The theology primer, the Book of Ephesians is a critical key to understanding the whole of Pauline theology. NT510 THE LIFE OF PAUL: Part One [3 credit hours] The Apostle Paul is the central personality in the development of the Christian Church and Christian theological thought. His life and ministry are highlighted: his past, his conversion; and the ministry. The impact of each missionary journey is also thoroughly examined.

5 NT510 THE LIFE OF PAUL: Part Two [3 credit hours] The Apostle Paul is the central personality in the development of the Christian Church and Christian theological thought. His life and ministry are highlighted: his past, his conversion; and the ministry. The impact of each missionary journey is also thoroughly examined. THEOLOGY ELECTIVES General TH503 SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY III: Handout Theology with Dr. John Gerstner [3 credit hours] These last fifty sessions in Gerstner s Handout Theology Series deal with subjects such as baptism, communion, and eschatology. The student will be blessed by the teaching of Dr. John Gerstner as he challenges and teaches from a biblical and historical viewpoint. TH508 THEOLOGY PROPER: The God We Know [3 credit hours] This in-depth study of the attributes of God first defines and then demonstrates the biblical evidences of God s communicable and incommunicable attributes. There is no subject that is more important to the Church of Jesus Christ than a biblical understanding of the nature, name, and character of our great God. TH509 THE HOLINESS OF GOD [3 credit hours] This course combines two of Dr. R. C. Sproul s six lecture series: Chosen by God and The Holiness of God. Dr. Sproul has spent the past twenty-five years ministering under the mission statement of Awakening the Church to the holiness of God. This course certainly lives up to that vision and the standard of excellence Ligonier Ministries has labored so hard to produce.

6 THEOLOGY ELECTIVES Intensive Studies TH[I]501 What on Earth is the Kingdom of God? [2 credit hours] As the central message of Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of God remains at the summit of theological studies. However, the rule of God is also one of the most forgotten and neglected subjects in the Church today. In this six hour Intensive Study, Dr. W.A. Young and Pastor John Bayles present an in-depth biblical study of the Kingdom of God, outlining its historical and contemporary importance. TH[I]502 What on Earth are the Doctrines of Grace? [2 credit hours] The Doctrines of Grace form the foundation of the Reformed movement and the pillars of historic Protestantism. Dr. Young and Pastor Bayles bring a highly sound, yet sensitive presentation of these foundational doctrines, identified by the acrostic TULIP : Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Faith. TH[I]503 Who on Earth is Jesus Christ? [2 credit hours] This Intensive Study takes an in-depth look at the person, nature, mission, and message of Jesus Christ. Subjects such as the place of Jesus in the Triune Godhead, the offices of Prophet, Priest, and King as expressed by the Lord, the central Kingdom of God teaching of Jesus, and the nature of Jesus life, death, and suffering are all discussed in detail. TH[I]504 What on Earth is the Cross of Christ? [2 credit hours] The apostle Paul said, For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God (1Cor.1:18,NIV). This Intensive Study presses into the depths of the message of the cross. Referred to as one of the most neglected subjects in modern Christendom, the teaching of the cross still remains...the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes (Rom.1:16,NIV).

7 TH[I]505 What on Earth is the Gospel of Christ? [2 credit hours] The Apostle Paul made the remarkable statement,...woe to me if I do not proclaim the Gospel (1Cor.9:16,NIV). His greatest fear was that the Gospel would not be proclaimed accurately. Today it is not always clear that we even understand the substance of the message which the Gospel contains. This Intensive Study addresses a variety of subjects regarding the Gospel: the pathway of redemption, the Holy Spirit and the Gospel, and the Gospel and the cross, among others. TH[I]506 What on Earth is Eschatology? [2 credit hours] Every New Testament Christian is an eschatological person. We live in a time between two ages and between two kingdoms. A study of the end, eschatology is far more than guessing who is the anti-christ and the seven-headed beast. This study takes a careful look at Jesus declarations regarding the end and the end of time, the Olivet discourse, the four major views for interpreting the book of Revelation, and contemporary effects of right and wrong eschatological viewpoints. CHURCH HISTORY ELECTIVES (Church History Electives may be applied to either the MTS or MBS degree programs) CH501 FROM THE RESURRECTION TO THE REFORMATION [3 credit hours] This course seeks to examine history from the viewpoint of the expansion of the Church and its doctrines. The course surveys the development of doctrine from the period of the resurrection of Christ to the beginnings of the sixteenth century Reformation. CH502 FROM THE REFORMATION TO THE MODERN AGE [3 credit hours] This course seeks to examine history from the viewpoint of the expansion of the Church and its doctrines. The course surveys the development of doctrine from the sixteenth century Reformation to modern times. CH520 THE LURE OF THE CULTS [3 credit hours] This is a survey of the historic development of four cults with wide strong influence in America: Mormonism, Jehovah s Witnesses, Christian Scientists, and the Masonic movement. In addition, witnessing insights are shared for confronting these cult groups. Designed to bring usable resources to the student, this practical study will inform and equip.
