The Book of James
After introducing the book (author, theme, date, …), this course proceeds from there into a verse-by-verse study of each of the book’s five chapters. Since the course focuses on one Bible book, rather than several, it provides the opportunity to “dig into” the text and related subjects - a task that is not always possible, to this extent, with some of the other textual courses at MBS.
Instructor: Dustin Forthun
Note: If taken for credit, this course satisfies 2 of the required 8 credit hours of Bible Textual Study.
Thursday Evenings, 7 to 9:15 PM, Aug 26 – Dec 16, 2010
Christian Evidences
This course begins with applicable logical principles and relevant terms. From there, it proceeds into identifying and analyzing the basic argument for Biblical Christianity. As will be explained, two of the components of this argument are: (1) God exists and (2) The Bible is the word of God. The aim of Christian Evidences is to provide adequate evidence, establishing that these two statements are true. Related matters also are addressed, including answers to two questions: What does Biblical faith mean? According to the Bible, is belief in God a matter of probability at best, or knowledge? The course includes watching/reading from the Warren-Flew debate and watching “The Bible Is the Basis of Morality” portion of the Beals-Saffold/Mayes debate.
Instructor: James Barnes
This is a required topical course for graduation. It is not offered every year. We encourage you to take advantage of its offering at this time, especially if you are near your diploma. If taken for credit, this course satisfies 2 credit hours.
