High School Religions, Worldviews, and Apologetics
As the world becomes more and more interconnected, the world’s religions and worldviews continue to spread across the globe. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important for students to recognize the major tenants of the major worldviews and know how to respond to them. The Christian faith is also greatly enriched by a study of world religions and apologetics as the student is able to become more secure in the reliability of their faith. Join us as we dive into the worldviews of the world and discover how God can work in each one of them.
