Are you ready to move past surface-level assumptions and build an unshakeable baseline for your faith, leadership, and intellectual journey?

Foundational Theology: Mapping the Christian Faith is a unique introductory course designed specifically for students, marketplace professionals, and emerging leaders who want to develop a robust understanding of biblical truth and Christian doctrine. Rather than overwhelming you with dense, disconnected academic jargon, this course provides a clear, scannable "theological map." Step by step, you will learn to navigate the complexities of scripture, history, and systemics with absolute confidence and pastoral clarity.

Core Course Mission

To bridge the gap between deep dogmatic truth (orthodoxy) and ethical marketplace execution (orthopraxy), transforming how you read the Word, perceive the Triune God, and influence society.

What You Will Explore

The curriculum is structured across four progressive phases that ground your intellect and elevate your practical impact:

  • Phase 1: Opening the Map (Weeks 1–3): Discover the single, cohesive grand narrative of Scripture stretching from Genesis to Revelation. Master the vital tools of exegesis (drawing out original meaning) to protect your studies from cultural bias and misinterpretation.

  • Phase 2: Knowing the Triune God (Weeks 4–6): Demystify the relational core of the Trinity. Examine the dual nature of Jesus Christ—fully God and fully man—and explore the definitive legal victory achieved at the Cross, as well as the active, empowering ministry of the Holy Spirit.

  • Phase 3: Humanity, Grace, and the Nation (Weeks 7–9): Analyse the immense dignity of the Imago Dei (the Image of God) alongside the structural impact of the Fall on the human conscience. Trace the relentless mechanics of sovereign grace and explore how theology constructively interfaces with regional governance, post-colonial history, and systemic justice.

  • Phase 4: History, Governance, and Everyday Walk (Weeks 10–12): Trace the evolution of divine authority from historical monarchies to modern New Covenant mandates. Strip away sterile religious ritualism for authentic worship, and implement the "Joseph Blueprint" to command strategic, ethical influence during times of economic or institutional crisis.

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)

By the conclusion of this 12-week journey, you will be equipped to:

  1. Synthesize the overarching redemptive storyline of the Bible and apply sound hermeneutical rules to diverse literary genres.

  2. Articulate core Christian doctrines—including the Trinity, the Hypostatic Union, and salvation—using precise, biblically grounded terminology.

  3. Evaluate contemporary sociopolitical, leadership, and regional governance challenges through the lens of historical and contextual theology.

  4. Formulate a cohesive personal Statement of Faith that successfully translates structural theology into a strategic marketplace assignment.
