Soteriology (Salvation): The study of salvation—how humanity is redeemed from sin and reconciled with God. It emphasizes that salvation is achieved through God’s grace (unmerited favor) received by faith in Jesus Christ.
Anthropology (Humanity and Sin): The study of human nature. It teaches that humans were created good in God’s image but fell into sin (The Fall), resulting in a broken relationship with God and a pervasive problem of evil.
Pneumatology (Holy Spirit): The study of the Holy Spirit, who is believed to indwell believers, guide the church, empower ministry, and illuminate the Scriptures.
Ecclesiology (Church): The study of the nature, structure, and mission of the Church—the community of believers called out by God.
