Teaching, Catechist-Apologetic

Catalog description

This course prepares students to fulfill Jesus’ teaching mandate in the 21st century. Students will examine biblical, psychological, and cultural foundations for teaching ministry. Building upon this foundation, students will explore a variety of catechetical and pedagogical approaches, strategies, and resources. Recognizing the need to offer a persuasive defense of Christianity within a sometimes inhospitable cultural context, the course also equips students with the range of apologetic strategies they will need to respond to the diverse challenges brought against Christian faith in the present age.
