*If the Greek option is chosen , only eight Christian Thought elenive units in this category are required. Philosophy of Religion and Ethics The main purpose of this emphasis is to help the student become an apolo- gist and develop the skills involved in doing apologetics with special focus on philosophy and social ethics. The atti- tudes and character traits of an apolo- Emphasis gist will be fostered by department activi ti es, professional model ing, and teaching techniques. The skills neces- sary for the craft of apologetics 11ill be developed by equipping the student to think for himself or herself, do research and understand the necessary philo- sophical and ethical concepts for spell ing out what Christians believe and why they hold those beliefs. The pro- gram is aimed at developing ability to do apologetics in various minisll1' pro- grams such as para church and local church evangelism, as well as preparing the student for further graduate work in phi losophy, ethics, re ligious studi es, law, political science, and theology.
