Intro to Apologetics
Johnson
PH-203/603
The Apostle Peter famously exhorts believers to be prepared to give a defense of the hope that is within them, urging them to do so with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). Apologetics is an ancient discipline, and one which Christians have engaged in throughout Church history. This class will introduce the participant to the essentials of the field of apologetics, and it will also teach critical thinking as regards how we know what we know. For graduate students there will be an additional focus on what cognitive science tells us about the naturalness or normalcy of belief in God.
Intro to Christian Doctrine
Lambertson
TH-201/601
The word “doctrine” derives from the Latin word for "teaching,” which means that Christian doctrine is simply the orthodox teachings about the various elements of our faith. This first part of a two-semester course will address the biblical grounding of Christian belief as such, the Trinity, creation and providence, human nature, sin, and the covenant of grace. Part 1 of a two-semester course.
