Course Description
Christian Apologetics:Asking the Big Questions gives students the opportunity to be grounded in the logical reasons for belief in the Christian faith. We would explore and evaluate the evidence for Christianity. Questions we’ll consider include:
- Why do Christians believe that Jesus was resurrected from the dead? What is the evidence? Can it be trusted?
- Can the Christian worldview coexist with modern science?
- How can the existence of suffering be compatible with the Christian view of an all-powerful, all-knowing and loving God?
- Is the Bible trustworthy?
This new course focuses on specific areas of discussion and study to enable students to better appreciate the intellectual case for the Christian worldview. Students of all faiths or no faith are welcome to join.
Learning Outcomes
Students will:
- Understand the logical reasoning for the Christian worldview.
- Evaluate the reasons why Christianity claims to validate the Bible.
- Appreciate the extent to which faith and reason can coexist.
- Engage in constructive rational dialogue with mutual respect for others.
Assessment
Assessment will be based upon meaningful participation in class discussions, careful reading of primary and secondary source texts, projects and the writing of papers that require research and reflection appropriate to the topic assigned.
