Theology is simply the study of God, who He is, and how He works. Recently Providence taught a Foundations - Theology 101 class and the purpose was to lay out the basics of the Christian Faith. Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology was a text and the notes from each session and much of the audio is posted below.
