Lesson Overview
Lesson 1 - Veritology: What is Truth?
The Truth Project begins by defining truth as "that which corresponds to
reality." This absolute and eternal truth, at the heart of Jesus' mission on
earth, continues to be the focal point of the Cosmic Battle in our own time.
Lesson 2 - Philosophy and Ethics: Says Who?
Truth is not simply an academic concept. The way we think about truth has a
direct bearing upon the way we live our lives. What's more, our
understanding of right and wrong is directly dependent on our worldview: is
the universe God's creation or a closed cosmic cube?
Lesson 3 - Anthropology: Who is Man?
The Bible tells us that man was created in God's image but fell from
innocence through sin. Modern psychology, on the other hand, asserts that
man is inherently good and behaves badly only under the influence of social
or institutional pressure. This lesson explores the implications of both
views.
Lesson 4 - Theology: Who is God?
Eternal life, according to Jesus, is knowing God in an intimate, personal,
and relational way. Such knowledge, which is possible only because of divine
revelation, transforms us from the inside out as we begin to see ourselves
in the light of His majesty and holiness.
Lesson 5 - Science: What is True?
Science, the "systematic study of the natural world," brings to light
innumerable evidences of Intelligent Design. But Darwinian theory transforms
science from the honest investigation of nature into a vehicle for
propagating a godless philosophy. (Part One)
A careful examination of molecular biology and the fossil record
demonstrates that evolution is not a "proven fact." Meanwhile, history shows
that ideas, including Darwinism as a social philosophy, have definite
consequences – consequences that can turn ugly when God is left out of the
picture. (Part Two)
Lesson 6 - History: Whose Story?
Does the past have an objective actuality and significance? Or does it, as
postmodernist philosophy asserts, exist primarily inside our heads? This
tour considers the meaning of history as God’s story and shows us why
remembering is so important.
Lesson 7 - Sociology: The Divine Imprint
The order we observe in the natural realm is even more apparent in the
social systems God has established: family, church, community, state, labor,
and the union between God and man. Life is a series of relationships that
flow out of and reflect the Trinitarian nature of the Creator.
Lesson 8 - Unio Mystica: Am I Alone?
Is it possible for the infinite, eternal Creator to dwell within the heart
of an individual? The implications of this great mystery, which represents
the very core of the Christian faith, are explored at length in this
examination of the most intimate of the social spheres.
Lesson 9 - The State: Whose Law?
Of all the social spheres, the state, to which God grants the power of the
sword for the punishment of evil and the preservation of the good, has the
greatest potential to go awry if it oversteps its authority. The civil
magistrate must always remember his place under the sovereignty of God –
otherwise, havoc will ensue.
Lesson 10 - The American Experiment: Stepping Stones
America is unique in the history of the world. On these shores a people
holding to a biblical worldview have had an opportunity to set up a system
of government designed to keep the state within its divinely ordained
boundaries. Tour #10 follows the history of this experiment and explores
what happens to freedom when God is forgotten.
Lesson 11 - Labor: Created to Create
Contrary to a great deal of contemporary popular opinion, work is not a
"curse." God Himself is active and creative, and He calls man to share in
the joy of His activity and creativity. Labor, economics, media, and the
creative arts all have a role to play in magnifying the glory of the
Creator.
Lesson 12 - Community and Involvement: God Cares, do I?
The ethical law and the meaning of the Christian life are summed up in the
commandment to love God and one's neighbor. This command is the source of
the believer's motivation for self-sacrificial service to the needy and
their personal involvement in our culture. |
