PH 610 Systematic Apologetics

PURPOSE: It is the purpose of this course to give the student reasonable response to some of the most challenging questions for the Christian faith today. Some people tend to define faith (since it apparently lies beyond the senses, perhaps even the realm of their experiences altogether) as trying to believe in something they can’t quite believe in, that’s just out of reach, just beyond belief. They sometimes ask, “Must I check my brain at the door of the church or does the Christian faith make sense? Furthermore, what’s the point? What\u27s in it for me? Since Pentecost there have been Christians called to respond to such questions. We will study several of these in expectation of strengthening our understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.https://place.asburyseminary.edu/syllabi/3295/thumbnail.jp
