Course Description: The course will give the student the information necessary to be "always ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence... ." (I Peter 3:15) This course will defend a wide range of Christian truths. Faith and reason are compatible. In fact, they compliment and strengthen each other within the Christian worldview.

COURSE OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to defend his or her belief in approximately thirteen distinct areas of Christianity. Familiarity with other belief systems will be gained for evangelistic purposes. The goal of the course is not so much to enable the student to disprove non-Christian beliefs, but to have a reason for every one of his or her beliefs. The coursework is designed to give the student the necessary tools for the future.
