This series was taught to answer some common questions that begin with the words, “What does the Bible say about…?” We talked about worldviews, their significance, their formation, some basic Christian epistemology, and then tackled subjects ranging from sex to war. We finished by going over some of the most popular world religions and learning how to interact with them as a Christian.
Below you will find the recordings and handouts from each lesson, and at the bottom of the page all of the handouts and powerpoints are grouped together. More sophisticated organization of these files will come later. Enjoy!
