About Course

This is the second course which focuses on “Christian spirituality” and covers Paul the Apostle and his understanding of progressive transformation toward Christlikeness. Paul’s focus in being a “Christ-follower” is our personal union with Jesus, in what He has done for us in salvation, and in our responsive participation in that new creation reality. Therefore, the primary aim of this course is to develop in our students a practical working knowledge of what this means – how to live out one’s new nature in Christ in thought, word, and deed. The course also explores aspects of how Spirituality has developed in Christian tradition over the ages.
