This course helps equip you to understand the truth and to present it in a way that it makes a difference to those who question it. Evidences for biblical positions and thought systems that compete against it are studied. Special attention is given to the key issues of creation, evolution, the presence of evil, and the lack of morality in today’s world. Two exams and four practical application papers are required.
