CE 102: SPIRITUAL FORMATION 
2 CREDIT HOURS


COURSE PURPOSE:

This course seeks to develop a model for spiritual growth that has a theological grounding in the Bible, historical precedents in the Church and is practically applicable to life.  Drawing from various Christian traditions of spiritual theology and practice, this course will present an approach to spiritual development which considers both the internal issues of motivation, faith and character as well as the external practices of spiritual disciplines that help Christians experience increasing growth in their relationship with Christ.  This class will also address critical issues involved in spiritual warfare against the world, the flesh and the devil as well as the role and importance of biblical community in spiritual development.
