Is Theology required all four years? What do they teach each year?

Yes, students take a year-long theology class each year they attend LuHi.

The progression of Theology classes are:

  • Freshmen: Old Testament
    Theology I is a comprehensive study of the Old Testament, including the study of the book of Genesis, the Exodus, the time of the Judges, the time of the Kings and the Exile and return of the Israelites. The primary emphasis is to guide students into a deeper and richer knowledge and understanding of the history of the Bible so that students may experience a vibrant relationship with our Lord. Further, students will have the opportunity to develop an understanding and implement the practice of holding a Biblical worldview.
  • Sophomores: New Testament
    Theology II is a comprehensive study of the New Testament, including a study of the life and teachings of Christ according to the book of Matthew, the book of Acts and early church history and a summary of the Epistles. The primary emphasis is to guide students into a deeper and richer knowledge and understanding of the life and work of Jesus Christ so that students may experience a vibrant relationship with Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
  • Juniors: Apologetics and World Religions
    Theology III enables students to have an understanding of key teachings of the Christian faith, give intelligent, factual answers to common objections to the Christian faith, and understand key teachings of major religions and cults in order to know how to best witness to them.
  • Seniors: Worldview and Christian Living
    Theology IV attempts to give the students the tools needed to defend and nurture their faith, all while letting the Holy Spirit work to strengthen the current faith that has been created or is being created in their lives. The course covers difficult questions about Christianity, ethics, marriage, family, and other timely topics and is geared towards preparing students for the next stage of their life and the changes that present themselves in the coming years.
