BAC 402 - Basic Christian Theology -  This course reminds us that, as humans, we are all theologians. Just experiencing ourselves, others, and the world raises theological questions in our minds.  Questions to be answered: Can God be known?  Where did the universe come from?  How do I know what is right and wrong?  Who is Jesus Christ?  What is our ultimate destiny as humans?
