The heart of the class is in the Socratic discussion. Tutors, trained in the Socratic method, lead small groups of students in dialogue 2–3 hours per week.
Mere Christianity Questions
- What is the moral law? How does acknowledging the existence of the moral law lead you to becoming a Christian?
- What is evil? Where does it come from?
- What is the Christ-life, and how do you get it?
- How is virtue related to the Christian life? Why are some non-Christians more virtuous than some Christians?
- Why must God be three-personal? Doesn't a "personal" God suffice?
Students supplement their Socratic learning with required audio context lectures.
