A Letter From the Instructor
Dear Student,
Warm greetings from RBC. Few topics are more pressing today than the topic of this course. As we consider the Bible’s teaching on humanity this semester at RBC, we will be asking four basic questions: Who am I? How can I know? What must I do? What is my purpose in life? To answer these questions, we will look to the teaching of Scripture as well as the witness of the church throughout history to learn what it means to be men and women created in the image of God. My desire for you is that by taking this course you will be better equipped to live faithfully as a Christian in a world that is often confused about what it means to be truly human.
Every blessing in Christ, Dr. Mathison
