Overview

Have you ever wondered what all is involved in God turning a sinner into a saint? Take this course where we will survey the 15 doctrines (only six provided here) in the order of salvation. We even learn a bit about what a theological method is and how it works. Come to learn and leave motivated and encouraged - this one is for you!

Ordo Salutis is an expose on the Reformed doctrine of how God saves. We think it is imperative for every theologian—Reformed or not—to be familiar with Reformed views of God’s Sovereignty as it pertains to Soteriology.
