CAP 201 - Creation Apologetics and the Bible (Answers Education Online)

Creation Apologetics and the Bible

Strengthen your walk and deepen your understanding of the integrity and authority of Scripture. No other document in history makes the bold claims the Bible does, and no other document has the integrity of the Bible. This six-week course will teach you how to defend the Bible’s integrity with a deeper understanding of its authority.

Students will be involved in studying issues related to the Bible from a creationist perspective through reading articles, watching videos, and taking quizzes—all working together to uphold the Bible as the ultimate source of truth.
