Course:Contemporary Apologetics Theory and Practice
This course equips students to defend and champion the Christian faith by introducing them to the origins and development of major schools of thought and worldview commitments in the contemporary cultural context. Students will investigate major modern and postmodern ideas and discover how these have shaped contemporary Western assumptions about the nature of human beings.
