Description: This class is designed to allow students (whether Christians or non-Christians) to articulate, evaluate, and respond to challenges and questions to Christianity. Non-Christians taking the class will understand Christian responses to traditional theistic doctrines, including arguments for the existence of God and the role of religion in public life. Christians taking the class will understand what objections skeptics and atheists have to Christian doctrines and how Christian thinkers have answered these objections over the past 2,000 years. The goal of this course is not to change anyone’s theological views; instead, it seeks to equip students to learn to evaluate the merits of these challenges and the responses by Christians.
