APO 111: Foundations in Creation Apologetics (self-paced)

This self-paced online class will give you a firm foundation in the fundamental ideas of creation apologetics, and help you understand the battle between the authority of Scripture and the authority of man in modern culture.

The course will arm you with knowledge and resources to help you engage the culture with the truth of Scripture, and will review the scriptural foundation that refutes those who compromise Scripture by espousing ideas like progressive creation and theistic evolution.

In addition, you will study important concepts in biology and geology to become better able to provide answers “to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you.” (1 Peter 3:15)

You will have access to an AiG instructor throughout the duration of the course.
