1 TH 607 SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY III Fall Term, 2017 Tuesdays, 2:00 5:00 p.m. Dr. John Jefferson Davis, Instructor Phone: (978) ; Office Hours: Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.-noon Introduction: TH 607 is a continuation of TH 605 and includes a study of the doctrines of salvation, the Christian life, the church, sacraments, and eschatology. The goals of the course are to study the biblical foundations of these doctrines; to understand them in the context of their historical development; and to understand their application to the various ministries of the church and to worship, personal discipleship, and spiritual formation. The instructor will also provide bibliographic help for further study. These course goals are believed to be in keeping with the stated goals of the Gordon-Conwell Mission Statement: to increase knowledge of the Word of God (Art.1); to cultivate spiritual maturity (Art.4; see also the scripture meditation assignments below); to promote an effective evangelical presence in church and society (Art.5); and to cultivate a vision for God s redemptive work throughout the world (Art.6; see topics on mission of the church and eschatology). Textbooks: John Jefferson Davis, Handbook of Basic Bible Texts, , Joining the Resistance: Practicing God s Presence in a God-Forgetting World (on CAMS), Practicing Ministry in the Presence of God Soong-Chan Rah, The Next Evangelicalism Westminster Confession of Faith (selected chapters; on CAMS) Recommended but not required: John Jefferson Davis, Meditation & Communion with God, Worship and the Reality of God, The Victory of Christ s Kingdom
