Next Upcoming Online Course:
APOLOGETICS By Mark Brumley
Is the Bible trustworthy? Does God exist? If God does exist, how can we know He is good? How do we know Jesus really died and didn’t merely pass out? How do we know the disciples didn’t steal Jesus’ body and make up the whole story about Him resurrecting? IF YOU ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS, THEN THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU!
This course approaches apologetics as the branch of theology concerned with the rational grounds for the Catholic faith as well as responses to objections raised against it. The course will explore arguments concerning: The reasonableness of faith; The existence and nature of God and his revelation; Who Jesus is, why he matters, and the case for his death and resurrection; The claims of the Catholic Church.
