Modern Worldviews will contrast the Biblical Christian worldview with the humanist worldviews of secular humanism and cosmic humanism, with an emphasis on understanding why other people believe so strongly in no-Christian philosophies.
Apologetics will focus upon a defense of the Christian beliefs of the existence of God, the accuracy of the Bible, the miracles and resurrection of Jesus, and a response to the existence of evil in this world, using logic, science and Scripture.
