Bible

Philosophy of Religion serves as an introduction to logic and also answers the question, “Are there good reasons to believe any religion (specifically Christianity) is actually true?” The goal of this course is for students to use appropriate philosophical logic in giving a culturally relevant, sound, and objective defense of their beliefs. Students achieve this through examining the basics of logic itself, recent arguments for and against the existence of God, the resurrection of Jesus, the historical accuracy of the Bible, and other major topics relating to Christian truth. Challenging students to consider how issues of character and communication may help or hinder the defense of their belief, this course also lays the philosophical foundation for asking the same difficult questions of other religions in the course World Religions.

Special Note: This course is a Bible department requirement for either junior or senior year.  Students will need to take one year of this Philosophy of Religion/World Religions course and one year of a service course before graduation.  Please refer to the Bible department map tab for more information.
