Hi Everyone, March is almost here, and we're gearing up for the second half of our spring term. I want to invite you to join us here at Reasons Institute (RI) and start your apologetics journey with us. Did you know you can also gift an RI course to anyone who wants to learn and deepen their faith? An RI course could be the perfect gift for a young adult, a youth pastor or church leader, a friend, or even your spouse. It's a great way to tell someone that you care about their spiritual vitality. There's still plenty of time to join for spring 2. The enrollment deadline is March 15. Courses start March 18. Here's our list of courses for the spring 2 term: World Religions and Science Course Description: Philosopher-theologian and RTB senior research scholar Kenneth Samples lays out the foundational beliefs of the world's major religions and then explores the ways proponents of each use modern science to justify their particular worldviews. Topics: • Christianity and science • Judaism and the work of Gerald Schroeder • Islam and the work of Maurice Bucaille • Latter-day Saints and the Book of Mormon • Eastern mysticism and quantum physics Evangelism in a Scientific Context Course Description: This course explores evangelistic strategies to reach analytically minded people, especially scientists, with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In other words, you'll learn how to take the apologetics arguments you've learned in other RI courses and apply them to real-life conversations and ministry. The class will practice the principles of communicating with "gentleness, respect, and a clear conscience" (1 Peter 3:15–16). In seeking to understand and appreciate how to communicate with skeptics, atheists, and non-Christian scientists we will cultivate love and empathy, both of which are essential to interacting in a global context.
