In Thinking Straight In A Crooked World, we will be looking at Christian apologetics and contemporary issues that face Christians in a pluralistic and post-modern society. Emphasis will be given to formulating a Christian World view, and evaluating other competing world views in light of scripture and Christian theology. The class will consist mostly of discussion based upon the topic for the day. Each Student will receive this list at the beginning of class. Reading will be assigned the week before topic and consist of short articles and other information necessary to formulate an insightful opinion about the subject. Some of the sample topics include: World View Basics, Apologetic Strategies, Is Reason Reasonable? Magic, Mechanics or Miracles? Is God Dead? Grades will be based upon intelligent and thoughtful participation in discussion and engagement with the readings. I look forward to it!
