THEO 0653 Creation, New Creation, and Creation Stewardship
This course studies the theology of salvation, particularly as it relates to the place of the created order in God’s redemptive plan and the meaning of “the restoration of all things” in the new creation by the Spirit through the work of Jesus Christ. It draws on biblical, historical, and systematic theology to construct a theological approach to creation stewardship as an aspect of Christian mission.
