Christian Apologetics with James Ruark
Tuesdays at 7:00 PM (EST) | January 30 – April 16
This class is a general survey of Christian apologetics, which is the discipline of how to defend and advance the Christian faith. We will discuss the need for apologetics, develop some apologetic tools and learn how to use those tools in our interaction with others. We will study the best arguments for the existence of God, the reliability of scripture, and the person and work of Christ. Other topics include creation, the resurrection of Christ, miracles and the “problem” of evil. The students will choose an apologetic issue that interests them and use the tools learned in the class to develop a convincing argument for the truth in that issue.
General Epistles with Lovemore Manaka
Thursdays at 7:00 PM (EST) | February 1 – April 18
General Epistles is an exegetical and thematic study of the eight epistles. A concise background study is given to establish the historical setting of these texts. This grammatical and historical background is believed to help the student to draw practical lessons for daily practice. The books which will be overviewed are Hebrews, James, I Peter, II Peter, I II and III John, and Jude. Lessons will be developed for their devotional, theological, and missiological significance.
