1 Corinthians 2, 14 - exegetical dialog (original) (raw)
This PowerPoint presentation on the fourth of the six loci (Biblical doctrines) of historic Christian systematic theology, Soteriology, is an Overview, an abbreviated version, of that section in the accompanying larger and unabridged PowerPoint (PPT) program, “Essential Christianity: Historic Christian Systematic Theology—With a Focus on Its Very Practical Dimensions, Including God’s Answers to Our Great Questions of Life—for Now and Eternity.” Ask the class to read the larger, unabridged, version; this Overview; or at least the accompanying Abridged Overview with highlighting prior to the class session. Provide opportunities for discussion of any of the subjects in the unabridged version, the Overview, or Abridged Overview, and/or related subjects, especially contemporary implications and applications of the Biblical content. The large unabridged, the Overview, and the Abridged Overview PPTs of Soteriology are for the sixth session of a nine-week course for adults and advanced youth classes (i.e., for all young people who want to seriously study the basis and content of their faith—the essence and most important part of their emerging adult identity—as shaped by Biblical theology), which offer an introductory overview of historic Christian systematic theology with an emphasis on its many practical applications. This PPT introduces the doctrine of Soteriology, the doctrine of salvation, the fourth of the six doctrines, or loci, of systematic theology. This locus (doctrine) is the only one of the six loci to have more than one name. It is also called Pneumatology (the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, since the Holy Spirit is the key agent in salvation) and the Application of Redemption (how the Holy Spirit applies the redemption of Christ Jesus in human lives). It answers the questions: Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does he do? How is the redemption of Jesus Christ applied? For further information on each subject in this course, the teachers and students can access the unabridged PPT, "Essential Christianity: Historic Christian Systematic Theology," on the Christian Theology page of the author’s general Website at https://fromacorntooak12.com/ or on his academic Website at https://seelyedward.academia.edu/research. Each of the PowerPoint presentations is written in an expanded sentence outline format in order to provide a stand-alone resource for teachers, students, and others, including those using it for independent study and/or devotional purposes. Week nine is for a review and discussion of matters the class wants to address. See also the related loci, doctrines, on this Website.
