Church Answers University Partnership

Students who have completed a diploma program through Church Answers University can apply for 9 credits (master’s level) of transfer credit (credit for prior learning—CPL) at Redemption Seminary. This would be 25% of the MABS program, reducing the cost and time to earn an accredited master’s degree in biblical studies without additional traveling.

Redemption Master’s Programs are designed to work within professional and ministry lives and responsibilities. Courses use a workbook approach (rather than long papers) and are graded with personal conversations with a mentor (rather than exams). Everything is 100% online and has flexible scheduling, so students can even make substantive progress using their daily Bible study time. The program structure can make these times in the Word very productive.

The Meaning of "the World" and the Problem of Pleasure

The apostle John talks about “the world” in dramatically different ways. In John 3:16 we read that “God so loved the world…” but in his first epistle, John tells us “not to love the world or anything in the world.” How should we understand this and how does it influence our understanding of our attitudes toward pleasure? Dr. Gary Thomas presents a lecture on this topic. Redemption Seminary uses lecture content like this to produce studies that are the building blocks for its courses. Work through this short study and see if it helps with your daily growth in grace and understanding of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
