Description: This course consists of a close reading of C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy, and Peter Kreeft's Fundamentals of the Faith, for the purpose of understanding basic Christian apologetics and the elements of "mere" Christian doctrine - truths of the faith uniting all Christians. The aim of this course is to fit the wider audience of both Catholic and Protestant Christians.
Suggested Age: Grades 11-12
Content Covered: A close study of three very influential Christian apologists: G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and Dr. Peter Kreeft.
