Christian Ethics Course

This is part of the core curriculum for International Online Bible College, but anyone may use this material free of charge. 

Scope of the Course: In this course, you will learn the conservative Christian stance on and reasoning for many of today's hot-button issues.

Grading: Your grade will be based on the reflection comments you write for each of the videos below and your completion of the Use Your Gifts final project.

 

To complete the course...

1. Watch each of the following videos. Assignment: Leave a 200-word comment reflecting on the material in each video - 200 points each. I also encourage you to take notes to keep for your own use.
