“I long to understand in some degree thy truth, which my heart believes and loves. For I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this I believe - that unless I believe, I should not understand.”

Course Description:
Through the years the church has been greatly influenced by theologians. Augustine shaped the church's understanding of orthodoxy. Aquinas brought philosophy and theology together. Luther reclaimed salvation by faith alone; and Calvin, reminded believers of God's sovereignty over all things. In a post modern world, the church continues the process of knowing God in the wake of the teachings of Karl Barth. In this course, Dr. Lubbertus Oostendorp explores the impact of Barth's influence on Neo-Orthodoxy. Developed shortly after the age of enlightenment, Neo-Orthodoxy provided the springboard for today's theologians as believers seek to be both Biblically true and culturally relevant.
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Define and explain Neo-Orthodoxy.
- Understand Karl Barth's teachings in Church Dogmatics and other notable works.
- Appreciate the controversy and objections to Barth and his works.
- Identify the theological, philosophical, and existential aspects of Neo-Orthodoxy.
- Explain the spiritual and intellectual influence of Barth on the church today.
