Assignments for this course take the form of written summaries, research, and analysis. They are designed to help us work through the course objectives, while keeping a focus on our spiritual growth through conceptual learning.

For each assignment, please develop a document and submit it to me in either Microsoft Word or HTML format (your word processing software should permit you to do a "save as" and choose either of those formats).

Each assignment can be completed by consulting Web-based materials listed on the course Resource page.

Your Main text will be Apologetics 101 What We believe & Why By Michael Sutherland. 

Also each week I would like you to read at least 2 articles from the following websites

http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/jeff_lowder/jury/

http://www.doesgodexist.org

Josh McDowell's Book "Evidence that demands a Verdict" is a classic apologetics book one of these two websites is against his findings. I felt that these articles would be excellent for you to see first hand where some non-believers stand on various issues. Due to the negative content found on these sites I added Apologetics 101 as a way of balancing your study between Christian and non-Christian Studies. The ideas expressed on these sites do not represent the beliefs of ACU. You can also do your own additional research if you wish posting  your resources.

For each 2 lesson reading assignment you will be submitting a 10-15 page paper that includes the answers to the questions posed in both lessons in the Apologetics 101 course.

Included in the 10-15 page  weekly writing assignment you will be write either a summery of the additional reading you did and what you got out of it. Or  find a objection to the Christian faith that was posed in the articles and create a answer to it.
