SFOI and the George Whitefield Program are partnering with Bryan College to offer a:

"Certificate in Biblical Studies and Christian World View"

The four courses below comprise the Certificate requirements. The first and last courses are taught in person during the Summer Fellowship Conference.  The middle two are taught online. You will receive College Credit for each course you complete. The goal is to lay a foundation of Christian thought for your ministry.

• Critical Survey of Worldviews (on-site, summer intensive)
• This course compares and contrasts basic worldviews and their implications for life, and will also present the main components of a Christian worldview, as well as respond to challenges to that belief system.

• Old Testament Literature and Interpretation (online)
• This course provides an analysis of the Old Testament as the foundation of the whole Bible. It focuses on the theological, literary, and historical dimensions of the Old Testament text and story; draws theological connections to Jesus and the New Testament; and makes application to modern Christianity, both corporate (church) and personal (spiritual growth). 

• New Testament Literature and Interpretation (online)
• This course provides an analysis of the New Testament as the culmination of the whole Bible. It focuses on the theological, literary, and historical dimensions of the New Testament text; draws theological connections to major figures of the Old Testament and its biblical theological emphases; and it makes application to modern Christianity, both corporate (church) and personal (spiritual growth).

• Intro to Christian Thought & Apologetics (on-site, summer intensive)
• This is an introductory course in philosophy and Christian apologetics which will introduce and examine issues of faith and reason and their impact on beliefs about man and God. How do we know anything at all? What is Truth? What is the relationship between science and faith? Different ways to defend beliefs from a Christian perspective will be examined and some cultural analysis and its impact on beliefs will be included.
