Bible Doctrine 203- Apologetics
Instructor: Mr. Jesse Murch
E-mail: PreSupAllTheWay@gmail.com
Phone: 434-426-8051
Course Description
Most Christians know how to share the gospel and their personal testimony, but what happens when our unbelieving friend asks a question? Suddenly things get more complicated. Apologetics deals with the Christian response to all such unbelieving questions.
Rather than just pile on an endless stream of evidence that invites the skeptic to pass judgment on God, this course examines a strategy designed to undermine the unbeliever's commitment to thinking independent of God's revelation. The textbook is Every Thought Captive by Richard L. Pratt Jr., and the supplemental text, Always Ready by Greg L. Bahnsen.

Bible Survey 202 – Old Testament
Instructor: Rev. Dr. Paul Michael Raymond
E-mail: pastor@HisGlory.us
Phone: 434
941-1895
Course Description
Building on the foundation of the preceding Bible survey course, this class concentrates on the Old Testament story of God’s choosing Israel as a nation of priests to draw all men and nations unto himself. Israel’s repeated failure results in the divorce decree of 70 a. d. and God taking a new bride, the church made up of both Jew and Gentile. Dr. Peter Leithart’s “A House For My Name" provides the literary framework crucial to understanding the many details of the Old Testament narrative. The text assists the student in gaining an appreciation and love for the "sweep and beauty" of the Old Testament Scriptures. A further benefit in this course is the emphasis on God’s law and the continuity of God's revelation to man in both testaments.

Course Description
The Westminster Assembly was convened by the British Parliament in 1643 to produce the Longer and Shorter Catechisms. To quote the Encyclopedia Americana, the Westminster Confession of Faith is "the most widely influential Protestant theological formula in the English-speaking world."
One of the most pressing concerns of the Reformers was that the articles of the "Protestant Faith" should be passed on to the children of believers and new converts. This took the form of short doctrinal summaries such as the Westminster Confession of Faith. Using the Bible and a commentary on the Westminster Shorter Catechism as the main text, students will learn the classical outline of systematics in theology. A few of the main headings are: the Doctrine of God, the Doctrine of the Person and Work of Christ, and the Doctrine of the Application of the Work of Redemption. “The Decree of God In Prophetic Interpretation” by D.O. “Oliver” Woods serves as an online supplement to the Reformers sketchy development of Bible prophecy.
