Follow along as Mother Ezgi leads the first session of our Know Why You Believe series, one of the Christian Education classes offered this Fall at the Parish of Saint Peter.
The Christian life depends upon faith, and there are good reasons for that faith. In “Know Why You Believe”, professor and author K. Scott Oliphint answers the "why" questions both Christians and non-Christians often ask, laying out a simple and convincing case for the core teachings of Christianity: Why Believe in the Bible?Why Believe in Jesus? Why Believe in Miracles? Why Believe in Salvation? Why Believe in God Despite the Evil in the World? And more!
As part of the KNOW series, “Know Why You Believe” is designed for Sunday schools wanting to better understand the traditional defenses of Christian beliefs. Each session will cover a foundational teaching and will includes a rationale for that teaching, responses to common objections, reflection questions to prompt further consideration, and suggested readings for readers wanting to dig deeper.
The class will meet every other Sunday at noon in the rector’s office beginning on October 1st.
