| World Religions | Hello everybody, I’ll be teaching World Religions from the eyes of a Christian Apologist this year. My name is Ariadne Reuel. I have studied world religions for many years. After I became a born again Christian, my understanding of world religions through the lens of God’s truth brought me into Apologetics. Apologetics is the study of defending and knowing the true faith. I’m going to teach you what each major religion believes in, what sources they use, and some other facts about them. Then I’m going to break that down to show you how they are in error compared to the Christian faith. I will also be teaching major doctrinal truths of the Bible and why the Bible is more trustworthy than any other book as a source of truth. Come join my class and learn to be a Christian Apologist yourself. | Ms. Reuel |
