Examining some of the toughest issues facing individuals today, this course focuses on moral issues including abortion, bioethics, war and more from a Biblical perspective. As young Christians graduate from high school, they're faced with tough decisions and this course is designed to lay the groundwork for making those decisions Biblically, allowing students to examine issues prior to being faced with them. Writing and class projects combine with content reading for the primary basis of this course.
