Third Millennium Ministries has announced the completion of two new courses in their work to provide free seminary-level educational curriculum.

The Apostles’ Creed (click here for download information and list of instructors)

There are many denominations, divisions and theological disputes in the modern church. But despite these types of disunity, there is a common core of belief that all faithful Christians have affirmed throughout history. And for almost two millennia, this core of belief has been summarized in the Apostles’ Creed. This series explains the history and use of the Apostles’ Creed, as well as the details and significance of each of its articles of faith. The Apostles’ Creed is the first series in the Basic Christian Doctrine Course, and it aims to:

• Introduce viewers to the history and value of the Apostles’ Creed.
• Explain each of the doctrines listed in the Apostles’ Creed.
• Demonstrate the relevance of these doctrines to the modern church.

Building Biblical Theology (click here for download information and list of instructors)

Faithful Christians have always recognized the importance of the progress of biblical history, especially as it relates to humanity’s fall into sin and to God’s redemptive work. The discipline of biblical theology arose as a means to study this progress in responsible ways. Much like systematic theology, biblical theology organizes theological ideas in ways that increase our understanding of Scripture. But whereas systematic theology organizes its ideas according topics, biblical theology organizes its findings in historical periods or epochs. Used rightly, biblical theology is a powerful and helpful tool for interpreting and applying the Bible. Building Biblical Theology is the third series in the course Introduction to Theological Studies, and it aims to:

• Explain the history and justification of biblical theology.
• Describe the method and uses of biblical theology.
