The central purpose of this class is to study the plan of salvation/righteousness by faith. It focuses on building a biblically based understanding of salvation through the sanctuary and key soteriological books like Romans, Galatians, and John. Some time is also spent in examining and critiquing varying views of salvation from theologians such as Abelard, Calvin, Arminius, and Wesley. The significance of these views for Seventh-day Adventism is also explored.
