  • History of Christian Thought
    Taught by Scot Bruce
    Description:
    Question: Why learn about the history of Christian thought?
    Answer: For starters, if you're a Christian, it helps you to understand the faith - addressing everything from where Christians got their ideas of the Trinity and how Christ can be both human and divine to what Christians think about issues like the environment, globalization, and social justice. The fact is Western society has been dramatically shaped by the influence of thinkers like Tertullian, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin , Kierkegaard, Niebuhr, Bonheoffer, and many others. We can't know the world as it is without knowing something about Christian thought.

Beth walks participants through each trait listed in the fruit and encourages women to know the freedom of a Spirit-filled life. Through this study participants will look at the supernatural aspects of the fruit and that you cannot grow, learn, or produce the fruit on your own. Beth challenges you to develop the fruit by maintaining an intimate relationship with the Spirit of God. A Spirit-filled life truly results in living beyond yourself.
