Apologetics – Understanding the Times

This class is specifically designed to be an immediate follow up to Foundations for the Christian Worldview. We will look at how our Christian worldview impacts other competing worldviews. This is a senior level course, preparing students for college. College students will encounter varying challenges from competing worldviews on campus — but will you be able to face those questions? Are you ready to answer hard questions about what you believe, address competing ideas and concepts, and be able to defend your conviction in the biblical worldview?

Simply believing “because my parents believe” is not a strong personal faith. Away from the protections of home, Christians will be challenged. The world is asking really good and tough questions. And Christians have really good answers — but if students do not know those answers, they can doubt those beliefs and even be dissuaded from their Christian faith. Educated professors may be quite persuasive to the untrained; this class will help students be ready to encounter competing worldviews and defend their beliefs for themselves.
