About This Class

Dr. Piper's class teaches how Christian hedonism emphasizes that God's main passion is His own glory, illustrated through the six stages of redemptive history. The Bible teaches that we should pursue our joy in God, as Christ is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. This pursuit often requires suffering, sustained by our joy in God. We must relentlessly fight to see God for who He is, ensuring our satisfaction and His glorification.

About the Professor

John Piper

“The ministry of preaching is the central labor of my life. My prayer is that through that ministry and everything else I do the great glory of our God and Savior Jesus Christ would be magnified as more and more people come to live out the obedience of faith more and more deeply.”
John Piper
