The Sunday Circle:

The 2008 Theological Roundtable at Covenant Community Church

The objective of The Sunday Circle is to promote sound teaching within the membership of the local church. In 2008, we will be reading Wayne Grudem's highly praised "Systematic Theology". At better than 1100 pages, this book provides a highly readable review of what the Christian church teaches about seven main subjects:

  • The Doctrine of the Word of God
  • The Doctrine of God
  • The Doctrine of Man
  • The Doctrines of Christ and the Holy Spirit
  • The Doctrine of the Application of Redemption
  • The Doctrine of the Church
  • The Doctrine of the Future
  • Anyone is welcome to attend. Attendance requires purchasing the book and a commitment to read approximately a hundred pages a month in preparation for a monthly discussion to be held at Covenant Community Church on the last Sunday of every month in 2008 from 6:00-8:00 PM. The first class will be held on February 24.

    The reading schedule is as follows:

  • February - Preface, Chapters 1-6
  • March - Chapters 7-13
  • April - Chapters 14-16
  • May - Chapters 17-21
  • June - Chapters 22-26
