Why would anyone limit themselves to only one of the world’s great religions? If the Christian faith is the true path to God, what is the evidence for this? This course will examine the credibility of its founder, the reliability of its book, its explanations for life, its impact on society, its offer of salvation, and other topics to discover “Ten Reasons to Believe in the Christian Faith.”

  • I really do appreciate the thorough searching out of the subject matter, and the resources that ODB provided to enrich the learning process. I hope that you don't mind that I use much of what I learned to help me guide four groups of India Pastors in October and November. My mind was so clouded, and this study has truly helped me to re-focus my mind and to be able to put together a three day seminar for my India brethren. I want to enrich their lives and ministry, and this material will certainly be great tools to do that. God Bless You.

  • I find the course very good and reinforces what I believe to be true. The rational knowledge of knowing something and being more confident to give a somewhat logical answer or an apologia (as learned in other courses). I look forward to taking more courses.

    — Kirby, China

    — Timothy, United States (US)
  • The course was enlightening, however, some of the assessment questions were irrelevant.

    — Felicia, United States (US)
  • Some of the readings seemed pretty old. Not that the material ever goes out of date, I just enjoy reading non-fiction that is more recent. Has being a Christian changed these days from being a Christian in the 1980s? No, but the world around us sure has. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. Thanks!!

    — Jennifer, United States (US)
  • I really enjoyed this course. I wish the reading could be offered in an audible as well. I am a single mom and work 45 minutes away from home so it was hard to read 30 pages for each lesson. That's approximately 300 pages. I did the best I could. I really enjoyed the lectures on video.

By going into detail on Biblical Truths from the lessons provided gave me an all-around look at what is proclaimed in His Word, the feasts of God, Jesus' resurrection, the Promise and Person of the Holy Spirit, my security in Salvation in Christ, and the hope of Glory to be with Him in Heaven. I praise God for this course and would that many will be enlightened and blessed by it.
