This engaging and stimulating course is delivered online over ten weeks but retains the journeying-in-community element that has been central to OCCA over the last 20 years. Students will have access to filmed lectures and will gather online for nine live, interactive seminars with their lecturers.

The course is a commitment of three hours per week (2.5 online at a scheduled time and 0.5 hours preparatory work) and can be accessed from anywhere in the UK and beyond. You don’t need any prior theological training to participate – the material is designed to be accessible and relevant for anyone who is looking to engage thoughtfully and meaningfully with questions about faith and today’s culture.

Topics include: Critical Thinking, The Existence of God, Science & Religion, Worldviews and Human Value.

Each session also focuses on a tough question, such as ‘Why isn’t God more obvious?’, ‘If Christianity is good, why has it caused so much harm?’, ‘Do science and faith mix?‘ and ‘How can anyone believe in a dead man rising?’ among many others.
