Online Class: Sifting Sensibly: The Thinking Man's Guide to Biblical Faith
Would you like to clarify your own values? Would you like to strengthen your Christian beliefs? Then, would you like to improve your reading skills? Furthermore, would you like to know the appropriate basis for agreeing or disagreeing with an author? This is a course that will help Christian students who have to read secular materials to do so with increased discernment. A Christian student who attends a secular college is sometimes 'blown away' by the ideas that bombard him. He or she may also pick up many things that are inconsistent with his or her basic faith--without realizing what is happening. This course will mention basic principles to which the student will want to hold in a steadfast manner. It will also help the student to be aware of the basic principles of humanistic thought. Watching for these signs will help the student to think critically, and to make up his own mind without being blindly thrown about 'with every wind of doctrine.' This course will also be helpful to Christian homeschool parents as they often use a wide range of material in designing their courses of study. Parents of Christian students who attend public/government schools will also find help with teaching their children to be discerning students.
