The Test

A Fresh Perspective on the Meaning of Life

This seminar is a unique, biblically based introduction to Apologetics, or the defense of the reasonableness of the Christian faith. Here, Dean sets forth a new "paradigm" or way of looking at life. In a world full of religious and philosophical confusion, we are often tempted to think that life is a "mess." However, there are actually many good reasons to believe that it is something much more hopeful; that it is a test, a challenge from the "Unknown God" to seek and find his spiritual truth.

And there is more. For as we probe deeper, we find that the Unknown God is not only testing mankind's love of the truth, but also that he has personally stepped into history to help us find it! In particular, he has granted us an astonishing array of supernatural signs, signs meant to direct us to his appointed Teacher, the one whom he has himself has authorized to supply us with the true answers to the questions of life.

Will we follow the signs his Teacher's feet? Will we listen to him if and when we get there? What will happen if we do? What will happen if we don't. Only one group knows for sure: those who decide--at whatever cost--to take and pass the test of life!
