Chafer Extension Courses

History of Doctrine

3 folders

A study of the historical development of selected doctrines, with attention to the development of each theological theme from the church fathers to the present day.

This course seeks to define the origins and development of the theology of the church. It will trace the historical development of the major branches of systematic theology, noting specifically the formulation and modification of each branch from the early church to the present day. In addition, an attempt will be made to define the major formulation of doctrine, whether orthodox or heterodox. Finally, an investigation of the contemporary trends in Protestant thought will enable the student to gain perspective on the issues with which the church is grappling.

Those attending class are expected to download and print the notes for the class and bring them to class.

Instructor: Dr. Robert Dean, Jr., Th.M., M.A., D.Min.
