Creation Apologetics and the Bible

Strengthen your walk and deepen your understanding of the integrity and authority of Scripture. No other document in history makes the bold claims the Bible does, and no other document has the integrity of the Bible. This six-week course will teach you how to defend the Bible’s integrity with a deeper understanding of its authority.

Students will be involved in reading articles, researching issues related to biology from a creationist perspective, watching videos, and completing assignments that uphold the Bible as the ultimate source of truth. Students will receive a discount code for 20% off all purchases in Answers Bookstore for the entire duration of the course.
