Defending the Faith
Is Christianity Logical?
Does God exist? Are miracles possible? What's the logic behind the Crucifixion of Christ and the Mystery of the Trinity?
Is Christianity logical, and can it be logically defended? The answer is “yes.” The belief of the Catholic Church is logical.
But that doesn’t mean the faith of the Church can be verified by the natural sciences, as astronomers might measure the temperature of the Sun. There were no medical technicians on hand to confirm that the heart of the crucified Christ had stopped for three days and then started up again on the day of his resurrection.
The point is, we need to understand what is meant when we say the belief of the Church is logical.
Objective: In this course, students will learn about Christianity and how to speak on several important topics of our faith, including God's existence, miracles and the Mystery of the Trinity. Students will learn about the Christian virtue of faith and the relationship between faith, theology and science.
