Defending the Faith in Asia (Onsite)
IS502, 3 Credits
23 November – 2 December 2022
9.00 am-5.00 pm

This course equips the student to thoughtfully and respectfully respond to objections to Christianity frequently encountered in Asia today.  This course also explores the biblical, historical, and theological foundations for apologetics.  It examines and analyzes various methodologies used to dialogue with others of the truth and beauty of Christianity for the glory of God and the joy of all people.  The class will investigate the evidence for God’s existence, including the problem of evil and divine hiddenness; we shall also consider whether the Bible is reliable, the case for Jesus’ resurrection, and issues from science and sexuality.

Audit students are welcome to contribute to class discussions. No readings are required.

Adolescent Psychology & Counseling (Onsite)
LF567, 3 Credits
23 November – 2 December 2022
9.00 am-5.00 pm

In the current accelerating social change, some adolescents have serious problems, and for this reason, the importance and demand for adolescents and youth counselling is increasing. This course seeks to engender an understanding of the adolescent/youth counselling, to lead in such counselling amidst dynamic social situations, demands, and expectations, and to grow as a counsellor. In addition, counselling for the youth has different characteristics from those of adults. Effective counselling theories and counselling tools are, therefore, introduced for the healing, growth, and nurturing of the youth. All these while seeking to understand and deal with the various types of youth problems and their development.

Audit students are to complete the pre-course required readings and asynchronous portions of each day’s pre-class work so they can follow along and participate meaningfully in class discussions and debates.

#EAST 2022 Holy Land Study Tour (Onsite)
BS532, 3 Credits
27 November – 11 December 2022

Picture yourself cupping your hands to drink water at the same spring where Gideon’s band of 300 select men did the same or studying the passage of Jesus calming the storm as you sail across the Sea of Galilee.  This is an opportunity to study God’s Word in its original setting.
