Religious Studies 25 – Believing
Young people search to find answers about themselves, others and God. The beliefs that adolescents hold will greatly influence the choices they make in the future. This course is intended: to explore how believing is integral to human living to study the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and Christian Scriptures (New Testament) as the source of our Judeo-Christian faith to recognize the importance of Christ’s message in the Gospels and how that message challenges us to bring about the reign of God.
