GENE 105	Critical Reasoning & Apologetics	3	Examination of the ways in which natural theology, Christian doctrine, and Biblical apologetics can be used together with well-reasoned argumentation and witness to evangelize the world. Formal and informal logic and critical reasoning are presented as fundamental tools for the Christian apologist.
GENE 150	The True, the Good & the Beautiful	3	Introduction to the traditional Christian nexus between philosophy and theology while focusing on the metaphysics of truth, goodness, and beauty, culminating in an exploration into the philosophical problem of evil.
