COURSE DESCRIPTION:

A detailed study of the books of Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, and Ephesians. We will be looking at Paul’s full and orderly statement of the great principle of the gospel that he preached. In these five books we receive a full revelation of salvation and the new covenant as compared to the old covenant.

I. Rationale:
To be able ministers of the gospel we must have a full understanding of salvation and the new covenant. Many false doctrines have come into the church because of a lack of understanding in these areas. Until we understand these important doctrines we will not be able to fully preach the gospel.
