Introduction to Theology II

A classroom with tiered seating where a speaker gestures at a table with three panelists. Approximately a dozen people in the audience listen attentively.

From Creation to New Creation: Life in the Spirit for the Church.⁠ ⁠

A diverse group of five people sit in a lecture hall, smiling and engaged, suggesting a lively and positive atmosphere. Classroom, interaction.

A continued study in systematic theology that moves from the doctrine of creation and the fall to the saving work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church. You will explore how God’s good creation, human sin, and the grace of redemption cohere in Christ, then trace the Spirit’s work through the Church’s worship and witness—Word and sacrament, justification and sanctification, new life in the Spirit, and the hope of the Last Things. Bringing Scripture, creed, and Anglican formularies into conversation with pastoral practice, the course integrates doctrine with discipleship for the church and the world.⁠ ⁠

Introduction to Theology II

Dr. David Luy

Associate Professor of Systematic Theology

Dr. David Luy's calling has always been to teach theology within the church and for the church's benefit. He believes theology belongs most fundamentally to the church, where sound doctrine is critical to every aspect of corporate life, especially the preaching and catechesis offered by ministers. His theological journey afforded him opportunities to engage with a broad range of ecclesial traditions, and ecumenical conversation partners continue to enrich his thinking. As NALS Academic Director, he is deeply grateful for Trinity's hospitality in welcoming the North American Lutheran Seminary as an embedded partner on the Ambridge campus—a beautiful expression of the church's unity amid important differences, opening invaluable opportunities for mutual edification.

Dr. Luy's goal is to help form theologically literate pastors who are committed to and take delight in the orthodox faith "once delivered unto the saints." He believes spiritual formation is rooted in relationships mediated by mutual fellowship with Christ and shaped by rich abiding in the word of Christ. While professors play an important role in mentoring, the deepest source of formation is the living word of God at work in the steady rhythms of prayer and worship.

What Dr. Luy treasures most is working with students—the thrill of introducing them to new subjects and seeing that light come on. He is thrilled to be part of an educational context where residential students experience the thick, "life together" pastoral formation Dietrich Bonhoeffer describes. His hope is that students will emerge utterly captivated by the riches of the catholic and apostolic faith, and that this love for God will inspire lifelong learning as a wellspring nourishing every aspect of their ministry. He enjoys music, backpacking, and all kinds of fishing.
