ANONYMOUS WOMEN OF FAITH (BT710)
MODELS OF FAITH FILLED LIVES
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Scripture emphatically states that without faith it is impossible to please God. Since this is true, it is important that all Christians understand what faith is. They must know how to get faith and how to live faith-based lives. One way of understanding faith is through the study of the lives of people whose faith is quite obvious.There are a number of women in the Bible who are excellent models of faith-lived lives. An unusual aspect about some of these women is that we are not told their names. They are called “anonymous women of faith.”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
► Gain a better understanding of faith by examining its place in the daily lives of believers down through the centuries.
► Discuss the difference between natural faith and supernatural faith.
► Recount the lives of seven anonymous women in Scripture who each demonstrated the faith that was required for a situation in their lives.
► Consider each of the identified faith descriptors in order to relate them to their own lives.
COURSE ACADEMICS
This course is worth four quarter units of credit in the degree programs of Embassy College.
