A biblical understanding of predestination

This course essentially deals with the doctrine of predestination, or to put it more accurately, it explains how God governs His creation. But because of our very limited understanding in this present age, we only discuss one aspect of predestination in this course, which is the aspect of salvation, for obviously as far as men are concerned, that is by far the most important aspect that we need to understand. And so, in this course we discuss the principles as revealed in scripture, that God uses, in order to predestine our lives for salvation. These same principles however, are also true for every aspect of our lives, and indeed how God predestines every aspect of His creation. Clearly there are very strong opposing opinions in the church about this subject, and the point of this course is not to support or refute any of those opinions, but rather to look at what the New Testament teaches us about this particular doctrine.

This course is meant for all audiences. No previous theological study is required or expected, for it is meant to give a basic understanding of what the bible says about the subject of predestination. 

Michael Maher will lecture from the bible, to walk the student through the subject of predestination, and how that doctrine impacts the life of the believer.

This course focuses on explaining the biblical view of the doctrine of predestination. As a supplementary resource, this course can be taken in tandem with the reading of Michael Maher’s book, Predestined to His Purpose.

I trust that the material and the dialogue with other students will be encouraging and enlightening for all.
