Theology: TH 313

A resource guide for students in Theology courses.

TH 313: Creation to New Creation

"The purpose of this course, following TH 210, is to provide a systematic orientation to the second half of the field of Christian Theology and re-creation. The course will cover the doctrines of creation, humanity, sin, Christ's work, the Church and last things. The discipline of theology will be approached as a practice of the church, carried out for the benefit of the life of the church, its proclamation and its service to the world."

Taken from course syllabus created by Dr. Bill Nyman.

Research Paper

According to Dr. Nyman's syllabus, the research paper must include:

  • An introduction to the issue under consideration
  • A concise overview of position (P) as advocated by a prominent theologian (or group of theologians, or theological tradition)
  • A concise overview of a position contrary to P as advocated by another prominent theologian (theologians or tradition)
  • Your theological evaluation in light of opposing voices
  • Your attempt to answer the original essay question in light of your analysis

Note on Resources

The resources below are, in part, recommended by Dr. Nyman, along with others we've found in the library that may be helpful in your research. Although they are divided into specific topics, some topics overlap, so it is useful to explore all of the tabs as you collect sources. As well, these are only a sample of the resources available in the library on these topics. It is helpful to click on the book that seems relevant, and then on the subjects within the record that reflect your topic. Follow the subject trail to other resources with those same subjects.
