    Theology and God 101 (Email Course)

    Theology describes the study, writing, research, or speaking on the nature of gods, especially in relation to human experience. Typically the concept includes the premise that such study is done in a rational, philosophical manner and can also refer to specific schools of thought - for example, progressive theology, feminist theology or liberation theology. This 23-week course introduces you to the study of theology, the history of theology, major trends in theology, as well as discussions about the nature of God: attributes commonly ascribed to God and arguments offered for or against God's existence.
