201.515 Theology: Introduction

Alistair Donaldson | Tuesday evenings | 6:00 - 9:00 pm
An introduction to theology that answers the question: What do Christians believe and why? The course examines the sources of theological authority; theological method based on those sources; the content of Christian belief; and how theology relates to individual, communal and global life.

210.615/715 Faith Has Its Reasons: Christian Apologetics Today

Bob Robinson | Wednesday evenings | 6:00 - 9:00 pm

Christian apologetics is the constructive defence of the Christian faith, especially in the face of doubt and unbelief. This course looks at such issues as: the appeals to reason, evidence, revelation and faith in apologetics; the role of ‘points of contact’; popular excuses for avoiding or rejecting Christianity; the existence of God; the problems of evil and suffering; alternatives to the Christian faith in a pluralist world; the relationship of faith to the wider spheres of human knowledge – especially history, the social sciences, and scientific method; the debates over creation and evolution; the central roles of Christ and Christian Scripture. The course aims both at answering objections and also at building bridges for the Gospel of Christ.
