Biblical Archaeology (Fall 2023)

Biblical Archaeology Logo

The goal of this course is to survey the methods and results of archaeology as applied to sites and topics of biblical significance and to consider the interpretive challenges and apologetic uses of archaeology.

TBS01 God and Science


This course examines the nature of science, its limitations, its methodological roots within a Christian worldview, and its value as an apologetic tool. A consideration of the impact of science on faith and ways both relate in today's world, will be analyzed via two "case studies" in cosmology and evolution.

ES01 Evangelism in a Scientific Context (Spring 2023)


This course explores evangelism strategies to reach analytically-minded people, especially scientists, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The readings and writing assignments focus on cultivating your understanding of this people group—what it means to communicate with them through an evidential approach to faith. In our class dialogue, we will practice the principles of communicating with “gentleness, respect and a clear conscience” (1 Pet. 3:15–16). In seeking to understand and appreciate how to communicate with scientists, skeptics and atheists, we will cultivate love and empathy, both of which are essential to interacting in a global context. 

CVE01 Creation vs Evolution (Fall 2023)

This intensive course helps Christians integrate the words of the Bible with the abundant information coming from the world of science. Students will learn how to use RTB's testable creation model approach to challenge the evolutionary paradigm and resolve debates about the origin of life, the fossil record, and the origin of humanity.

AAD01 Advanced Seminar on Astronomy & Design (Spring 2024)

Advanced Astronomy and Design

This course is designed to build on the concepts presented in the introductory course. Topics such as exoplanets, multiverse and string theory are explored.

CB01_Creation and the Bible (Spring 2024)


This course surveys the biblical material related to creation, including the doctrines of general and special revelation. Students are also exposed to a variety of Christian interpretations of Genesis 1 and encouraged to form an integrated, coherent interpretation of the scientific data. The second half of the course explores theological and scientific questions concerning the age of the earth (such as radiometric dating techniques and global flood theory).

WRS01 World Religions and Science (Spring 2024)


This course lays out the foundational beliefs of the world's major religions. Students explore the ways proponents of these religions use modern science to justify their particular worldviews. Students will learn the biblical basis for the exclusive truth-claims of the Christian faith, while investigating the philosophical implications of religious pluralism.

CTS01 Critical Thinking Skills (Fall 2023)


This course deals with the various aspects of deductive, inductive, and abductive reasoning as they are applied to different forms of argumentation. Different ways of testing arguments and truth-claims are evaluated for validity, cogency, and strength.
