SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY – JUNE 6
June 27th, 2011 | 
Author: Phil Johnson from Grace Community Church, Los Angeles CA, continued the series of classes in June by going through the first year of Systematic Theology training. Many of the students remained from the previous expository teaching class, in total we had ten students participating and many of them were also new to the Academy training. The Attributes of God was the central theme of this training. Special times of question and answer and many hours of talks after the classes made this class another great blessing!

Doctrine Matters!
What is the Biblical Truth on the Doctrine of Original Sin? Is God totally sovereign in Salvation? What is the human condition before coming to Christ? What are the roles of “grace”, “faith” and “good works” when it comes to the truth of salvation? What about the person of Christ? He was fully God and fully man… but in what sense? What is the biblical teaching concerning His divine and human natures? What are angels and demons? Is Satan real?
The above questions are but a sample of the sheer depth of teaching and theology covered by the students at ITA March 22nd to 26th. Professor Phil Johnson was at his best and the students seemed to attentively take it all in as they say resulting in a fruitful week of deep biblical truth. The context of the class being held in Italy made the significance of the subjects covered profound, given the fact that many of the doctrines and theological truths taught were in direct opposition to the Roman Catholic Church’s long-standing unbiblical conception of original sin and several other theological truths (false doctrines) We at ITA give thanks to the Lord. We thank you for your prayers and continued support.
Systematic Theology needed!
March 21-26 2010
There is a profound need for sound and biblical theology to be taught in a fresh and systematic way to a new generation of Italian Evangelical Church leaders. From March 22nd to the 26th the ITA will strive to do just that. Your prayers are needed for the class, the professor, the students, the staff and all the fruit that the Lord in His sovereign grace will choose to bring forth for His church in Italy.
