Purchase Solved APOL 810-Miracles the Resurrection and Christian Ministry
Course Description
This course examines the apologetic value of the miraculous, giving special emphasis to the resurrection of Jesus, as it bears on a Christian theology and the life and mission of the Church. (Available to DMIN students only).
For information regarding the prerequisites for this course, please refer to the Academic Course Catalog.
Rationale
The resurrection of Jesus Christ stands at the heart and center of the Christian proclamation of the gospel and is thus organically connected to various Christian doctrines and life practices. Given the prominent place of the resurrection in the Christian world and life view, it is all the more imperative that those seeking to carry out the Church’s mission engage various contemporary challenges and objections to the miraculous, while also seeking to integrate the resurrection into their daily lives and practice.
Measurable Learning Outcomes

- Defend major components of the “minimal facts” historical argument for Jesus’ resurrection.
- Integrate key aspects of the resurrection of Jesus with major theological doctrines of the Christian faith, further developing a Christian world and life view.
- Explore and implement the practical ramifications of the resurrection of Jesus as it bears on the life and mission of the Church.
