Early Church History and Doctrine
C. S. Lewis Institute
Deep Dive Spirituality with Dr. Brian Russell
Old Testament Textual Criticism
Gail Mays Ministries combined with Rachel Wojo Course
MSU
This course is meant to show how secular scholars explain religion, not how the Bible defines truth. Their approach is human-centered, not God-centered. Keep in mind that Scripture alone reveals God's truth: there is one God and one way of salvation through Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). Use this course to better understand the world’s thinking, but always test it against the Word of God (Acts 17:11).
