Most of the people on Earth are not Christians…but the vast majority of them do belong to another religion, including “irreligion.” How much do you know about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Chinese Folk Religions, Indigenous Tribal Religions, and the New Age Movement? What about traditional Christians and non-trinitarian components of “Christianity" in general, like Protestantism, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists. The first part of this course will focus on establishing a general understanding of the world’s biggest religions…and how biblical Christians can effectively reach out to them.

The remaining part of the course will focus on creating an effective Christian apologetic. We will look at the major components of apologetics in terms of defending the faith, but we also need consider the unique times that we find ourselves in, because some of our more traditional approaches are losing effectiveness in an increasingly post-Christian America.
