Are You A Renaissance Christian?

The wide-ranging movement known as the Renaissance led to the rebirth of European culture spanning from the 14th through the 17th centuries. Building on this idea, the “Renaissance Christian” can then be defined as a believer in Christ who pursues information, knowledge, and wisdom as a daily priority in life. Recognizing the importance of the imago Dei (humankind uniquely created in the image of God, Genesis 1:26-27), the Renaissance Christian seeks to pursue "the life of the mind to the glory of God." 

The consensus of historic Christianity is that God reveals truth in Two Books: the figurative book of nature (God’s world, general revelation) and the literal book of Scripture (God’s Word, special revelation). Therefore when Christ’s followers pursue truth of any kind they will see the signature of the Creator-Redeemer God who reveals the ultimate Truth.

The content of this class will help the individual Christian to sharpen their thinking, reading, and reflective skills as they seek to glorify God through utilizing their God given intellectual capacities. Specific lectures will be given on improving logical thinking, analytical reading, and worldview reflection.
