This class, which provides a good follow-on to TPS Ancient Israel, provides an in-depth look at the connection between the history and the land of Israel. It has been said that after a visit to Israel, the black and white text of the Bible is changed into vivid color. Using maps and satellite images, this course examines the chronology of biblical events as they occurred in the regional geography of the Promised Land. Starting with an introduction to various theological positions concerning Israel, the course provides students with an overview of the past two millennium and an emphasis on national Israel since 1948. The teacher recently spent a school year in Israel and made arrangements for expert enhancements to this class.

NEW! This course provides a historical overview of the leading thinkers that have shaped the thought and belief of Western civilization and the problems with which they have struggled.  These philosophical problems of belief and understanding are never isolated from the surrounding culture.  Even within the Church, each generation must wrestle anew with these ideas of being, knowing, ethics, and their relationship to the faith.  Particular emphasis will be placed on the categories of ontology (the study of being), epistemology (the study of knowledge) and ethics as they relate to today's Christian.  Discovering how ideas have come to be popular, weighing their pros and cons, and fitting them together in the discovery of truth and wisdom is a daunting, but important task, one that greatly assists in wise living and being an effective witness of Him who is the source of all wisdom and truth.  All topics will be evaluated from a biblical worldview.  Click here for more information.

NEW! This course surveys the books of the Old and New Testaments in a chronological fashion from Genesis through Revelation.  Students will become acquainted with the major events and people of the Bible and will be able to place individual books of the Bible chronologically and thematically within the progress of God’s revelation.  Students will be led to see how the Bible has practical value for their own lives and the lives of others.  The course is taught from a conservative theological perspective, but engages critical perspectives that students are likely to encounter in later reading and study.
