Apologetics (3 credits)

Having a firm foundation from which to engage with the world includes having an apologetic (reasonable defence) for what the Christian believes and why the Christian has such hope.

Literature Studies (6 credits-3 credits per semester)

Virgil, Homer, Orwell, Dostoyevsky, Lewis.

This course first examines ancient Greek literary works by epic poets Hesiod, Homer and Virgil, and by dramatists Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes. The course then turns to modern authors Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and C. S. Lewis.

Systematic Theology (3 credits)

Grudem, W. Systematic Theology, 2nd ed. (Zondervan Academic, 2020)

Developing a robust system of theology is crucial for living a life that honours God, glorifies Christ, and pleases the Holy Spirit. Systematic theology seeks to gather what Scripture teaches regarding particular topics and arranges those sections in a descriptive and constructive framework. As a constructive framework, systematic theology organizes content under appropriate topics. As a descriptive framework, systematic theology considers how the church, through the ages, has thought about these topics.

Biblical Leadership (3 credits)

Assorted authors on leadership, both (Malphurs, Greenleaf, Covey, Longhouse).

What is at the heart of Christian Leadership? What makes a Christ follower a leader? What about those Christians who self-profess they don’t have the ‘gift of leadership’? Essentially, how should we as followers of Christ think about and practice leadership in our lives, homes, vocations, and churches? Biblical leadership strives to lead the heart, mind, attitude, and action of the believer – regardless of vocation.
