Biblical, Theological, and Philosophical Formation

Biblical, Theological, and Philosophical Formation Outcomes:

1. Critically analyze arguments (e.g. for assumptions, presumptions, alternative viewpoints, and logical consistency) to draw reasoned conclusions

2. Make ethical decisions (e.g., by identifying, analyzing, and evaluating ethical issues in complex contexts and constructing an ethical framework) Note: this outcome is required for lower-division ministry courses

2. Interact with the breadth of Christian thought and practice by integrating at least two of the following: biblical texts, philosophical ideas, and theological traditions.

Using these outcomes to design a course
