About this course

Thinking well about Scripture also means being able to answer the hard questions posed in the culture and church today. In this course, Dr. Bass focuses on New Testament controversies that in today’s conversation provoke criticism of the Bible as a reliable source of spiritual, theological, and historical truth. The goal is to expose how scholarly discussions, as well as amateur discussions (those in the media or online environments), misrepresent these biblical controversial topics.

The title is accurate and concise in describing information being taught.

Carl Summers

There was a lot of information to learn about in the first MOD that motivated me to study harder before taking the quiz. The payoff for me is my faith is supported not only by the Bible, but also by historical evidence pertaining to Jesus.
