I have been teaching Apologetics to high school students for over 15 years, and I enjoy it. But I also love teaching adults. You bring a maturity and a life-experience to the table that young people just cannot. The questions and discussions are often similar but significantly deeper. I relish these things. I teach in a lecture/Socratic style, that is to say – there will be lecture mixed with interaction and discussion throughout. I hope you will consider taking this class. I look forward to getting to know some of you and exploring these issues with you.
