World Religions: Christianity
We had a great turnout last night. If you missed the first class, feel free to drop in another time. We’ll be meeting Wednesday nights at 6:30pm at Lakeside Christian Church. There are a couple of nights that I will be out of town, so we won’t be having class on March 24, April 28, or May 5. Missing class for two weeks in a row is not ideal, I know, but a last minute change of schedule came up just as we were starting class. On May 5, I’ll be in Chicago auditioning for Jeopardy!
Each week, I’ll post some additional resources online, as well as the notes and slides from the class. For Christianity, here are a few good resources:
- GetReligion.org follows media coverage of all religions. It’s a great place to see critical assessments of how well the media covers various religions, as well as to learn a lot more about different religions.
- Christianity Today’s news page collects Christianity-related news from across the Internet. CT also has a Christian History page that collects articles about Christian history, as well as important events. By utter coincidence, today is the day when Alexander Campbell, one of the founders of the Restoration Movement, died in 1866.
- The official website of the Orthodox Church in America is a great place to learn more about the 2nd largest Christian communion in the world.

I'm Mike Hickerson, and I serve as Associate Director for the Emerging Scholars Network, a ministry of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. I also teach a variety of Bible and theology classes at Lakeside Christian Church in Northern Kentucky, write when I can, and maintain a few different websites for InterVarsity, family, and friends. This is where I publish book reviews, personal commentary about technology and society, and the occasional poem.
