Principles of Biblical Reasoning (BIB223)
Course Description
The purpose of this course is to equip the student to give a reasoned, biblical defense for the issues and concerns that our society, culture, and world face today. It is a unique blend of apologetics and Christian lifestyle characteristics necessary in defending biblical principles. A portion of the course is dedicated to workplace evangelism and how to influence the people Christians come in contact with on a day-by-day basis.
Credits: 3
Prerequisite: BIB203 or BIB213
Additional Details:
It is recommended that students take this course only after successfully completing at least three other PHC Distance Learning courses.
Students will read seven books written by Dr. John Warwick Montgomery, the professor who teaches Patrick Henry College’s on-campus Principles of Biblical Reasoning course. They will also listen to twenty-seven audio lectures delivered by Dr. Montgomery. The books and lectures comprise the course’s content. Students will complete a mid-term exam, a final exam, and write three essays. They will also contribute weekly to threaded online discussion forums. While regular participation on the discussion forums is required, there are no time-specific or scheduled chat sessions or online class meetings. All instruction is asynchronous. (For example, students may participate in discussion forums any time during the week.)
