MacLaurin Courses
MacLaurin Courses are intended to introduce students
and others to rigorous theological and biblical study, or to theological
frameworks for academic pursuits and inquiries. Our courses normally run eight
weeks through a given semester--long enough to allow for sustained engagement
with a given topic, yet steering clear of end-of-semester deadlines. Future
courses will include Genesis Foundations for Christian Thinking; Imago
Dei: What Does It Mean To Be Human?; and, Understanding Academic Vocation.
