The character of the Four Gospels, their inspiration, differences, major themes present in the individual Gospels and in the overall dispensation. (The Apocalypse will not be left out of this discussion, but is covered in greater detail in Theology 668.) There will be some attention to historical context, including a look at the Acts and Epistles.

Since the Lord created heaven and earth, He is the supreme governor over all things. His government is the activity of His love, by means of His wisdom, as He provides every individual human being the means to be connected to Him in a bond of love and wisdom. The book, Divine Providence, outlines this provision, and clearly shows the relationship between Creator and creature.

The systematic teachings of the Writings about the Lord: His essential nature from eternity; His relationship with us before the advent; why He needed to “come”; what He accomplished (redemption), how He accomplished it (glorification of His human); the enduring effect of the glorified Divine Natural/Divine Human, and of the Lord’s presence /“proceeding” through it. More specifically, in considering His glorification process we look at His conception, heredity, and development in the human. We especially look at the nature of His temptations, which were the very means of His subjugating the hells.
