As we begin this course of study, the logical starting place is to consider (1) what we are studying and (2) why it is so important. We are surrounded by a wide variety of philosophies and worldviews, which each carry with them implications toward questions of origin and purpose. Join Branyon May...

In considering the Evidence for Christianity, we must consider whether an apologetic approach is authorized or desired by God. In this second lesson to introduce our study, we will consider both objections that have been presented to an apologetics approach, but also biblical examples and direct ...

The Cosmos or Universe is a word used to describe the entire physical existence that surrounds us. Observations of this existence lead us to ask a fundamental question, “How did it come to be?” Join Branyon May as he introduces this first line of reasoning, the Cosmological Argument, beginning to...

Our everyday lives provide clear understanding that cause and effect is a principle that the entire material world obeys. As we consider that there are only three simple choices for the origin of the Cosmos, our observations help us understand that only created origin is fully consistent. Join Br...

Much of our lives are structured by considering the contrast between correct and incorrect, true and untrue, and what is right or wrong. These comparisons are needed, but why are we able to make such evaluations? We also make moral evaluations on a regular basis. How are we personally, or even as...

Others simply say that each is completely independent and while they can both be in your life, they never overlap in application. I...

What do we mean when it is claimed the Bible is inspired? Does the Bible even claim inspiration for itself? If it is inspired by God, what are the implications for humanity? In this class, Branyon transitions to consider the specific topic of the Bible’s inspiration and lay the foundation for why...

There exists internal evidence for the Bible’s inspiration; the first of which is in its very composition. The signature of a divine origin can be seen in two simple aspects: brevity and unity. Join Branyon as he takes an overview of the Bible’s contents and composition to evaluate the hallmarks ...

Separated by hundreds of years, how does the New Testament and Old Testament relate to each other? Did writers view each other and their content as inspired by God? This class continues the discussion of internal evidences for the Bible’s inspiration by considering both the Bible’s consistent con...

The Bible is the most well-documented work in all of history. Manuscript evidence demonstrates we are not dissecting and evaluating only a scarce few fragments. Rather biblical critique occurs on the phrases, words, and even strokes of letters across thousands of ancient manuscripts. Join Branyon...
