Theology of the Afterlife
Instructor: Dr. Tim Gordon
Thursdays, 9:00 - 12:00 PM
1 Semester: January 16 - May 1
3 Credits
This course on the Theology of the Afterlife is a study on eschatology. It covers the following topics: Introduction to the Afterlife, Death and the Mortality of Man, The Immortality of the Soul, The Intermediate State of the Dead, The Second Coming of Christ, The Resurrection of the Body, The Day of Judgment and Heavenly Rewards, Hell and Eternal Destruction, and Heaven and Eternal Life. These topics cover what I refer to as the eschatology of the individual, as opposed to the eschatology of history, which is what many contemporary books on eschatology tend to focus on. My purpose for this course is to make that distinction because many books do not clarify the differences between what the Bible says about history versus what it says about the afterlife of the individual. This course seeks to do that.
