Religious Education

Course summary

Brief introduction to subject: Do you ever ask yourself these questions?: Why do I exist? How do I know what is real / true? Is there a God and how can it be proved? Are religious experiences such as miracles, visions, voices genuinely from God? How do we determine what is right and wrong? Do moral laws come from God or humans? Should we judge the morality of an action based upon motive, action or effect? If you have asked yourself these questions and would like to know what famous Philosophers and scholars (ancient and modern) have suggested as possible answers, then this course may be for you. If you are naturally cynical; don’t take things at face value or enjoy a heated debate then this course will likely appeal. As well, as Philosophy and Ethics there is also a Christian Theology component where you will delve deeply into the thinking that underpin Christian belief.
