 Religion Department Course
Descriptions
Religion I - Religion I is a required course introducing students to, first of all, each other, and, more importantly, to God's will in their lives. Topics such as Relationships, Dating, Vice of Drugs and Alcohol are studied from a Biblical perspective. The second semester provides a panoramic video of the Old Testament, focusing primarily on the theme of the Old Testament; God's people being led to His solution to mankind's sin, Jesus Christ.
Religion II - This is a required course. One semester provides a detailed study of one of the real jewels of the Bible, the Gospel of John. The many timely issues in this book are made relevant to the life of the teenager in the 90's. One semester delves into some of the thornier ethical issues of the day: euthanasia, cryogenics, genetic engineering -- and issues of this sort are discussed in the light of God's Word.
Religion III - Religion III is a required course. In one semester, the students are encouraged to grow in their Christian faith through their exposure to diverse religious perspectives. Special emphasis is placed on active cults in today's society. These diverse perspectives are always brought back to the clear light of the Word, Jesus Christ. In the other semester, the students enjoy a comprehensive look at Christian doctrine with special stress on the role of Law and Gospel in the lives of the Christian. The book of Romans is used as the resource.
Religion IV - Religion IV is a required course. It is a “marriage and the family” class. Class time is spent studying the whole gamut of relationships, from friendships into dating engagement, marriage and child rearing. Special emphasis is placed on the Biblical perspectives of these issues. A final project where the students can access many of the newest technologies for their project and presentation is required.
Faith In Action - “Faith in Action” is an elective religion course for juniors and seniors. Visiting speakers, discussions, readings and videos will engage the learner as topics of the response of Christian faith to cultures are looked at in depth. This elective course is for students who desire to grow in their faith. |
