Dr. Johnson’s passion for the subject is evident as he walked us through the various nuances of Theology. Junius does a great job of keeping us engaged while shedding light on complex concepts that I honestly didn’t even think twice about growing up. The best thing is that I have grown in my relationship with God on a personal level due to meditating on the truths we’ve discussed in class and it’s challenged me to not take for granted any piece of “truth” that I may have uncovered.

He guides his students towards the discovery of deep and meaningful truths through engaging discussions and well organized lectures. I learned more in this six-week class than I have in twenty years of reading and listening to sermons.

Through the context of the historical writings of some key Church Fathers, Dr. Johnson dives deep to help us understand how we settled into our theology of today. His course gave me an even greater appreciation for the amount of Spirit-inspired prayer, thought, and discussion that went into the theological understanding of Christianity based on the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
