About This Book

A systematic, classroom-oriented course examines the doctrine of God by combining doctrinal exposition with practical guidance for teachers. It presents lesson plans, methods for home preparation, scripture citations, and formats for both lecture and roundtable study, including five special assignments meant for extended addresses. Sections summarize historical and philosophical conceptions of deity while advising students to master each position as presented rather than attempt reconciliation. Emphasis is placed on careful preparation, clear expression, and recommended reference works to support instruction. The overall aim is to deepen understanding of divine character and to equip ordained teachers to explain and defend their beliefs.
