Pastoral Theology Course - by Dr. John Piper

Course Home Page

Course Discription

This course is designed to acquaint students with the practical application of Christian doctrine to a wide variety of issues. The course addresses such issues as fighting personal sin, prayer and fasting, roles of men and women, suffering, worship, God's sovereignty, eldership, inspiration of Scripture, and motivation for life and ministry. Students will be urged not only to consider the biblical underpinnings for these issues, but how to apply them to every-day life.

Course Objectives

Practical Theology aims to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples. We pray that honest, humble, rigorous interpretation of Biblical texts, as well as God-centered discussion of theological and practical ministry issues will kindle this passion and equip students to spread it winsomely to others.

Thus it is our aim that the student who successfully completes the course in Practical Theology will be better equipped to:

  • savor, strengthen, and spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all of life and ministry
  • meet a wide range of needs in people's lives with a loving and powerful application of Biblical truth
  • apply Biblical doctrine to the nitty-gritty of life and ministry
