Why? The focus of this class is to understand religious humans and why they believe what they do, distinctly from a Christian perspective. Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and some Chinese/Japanese traditions will be explored in theme, deity, writings, beliefs, and practices. In each subject, you can count on questions, discussion, and projects. “The Christian will confront the deepest meanings of the gospel, the good news of the Christian faith, with the challenges within the religions of revelation, authority, salvation, ethics, and peace” (Braswell, Jr. xvi).

Teacher Bio: My name is Amy Loesch and I will be teaching English 101, 201, 301, American History, World History, Creative Writing, Public Speaking, and World Religions. I graduated in 2009 with a BA in Religious Education. I continued my MA in Teaching in Secondary English, but had to stop shy of my semester of student teaching due to deployment. Since then, I've been a substitute teacher at Providence Classical Christian Academy in St. Louis, MO, have been homeschooling my four children since winter of 2016, and have taught numerous classes with the HEAT program. My philosophy is that no student learns exactly the same as another and that learning should be hard work but FUN! |
