Rationale

The Christian worldview has been under intellectual attack since its beginning. However, in recent years the attacks have been more subtle and dangerous, coming particularly from such areas as scientific naturalism and post-modernist thinking. This course is designed to offer a defense for the truth claims of Christianity against such attacks by advancing evidence both against its attackers and in favor of the Christian worldview.
