Ministerial Ordination – 102 – Major World Religions

The Major World Religions Courses at The Remnant Bible Academy is a specialized collection of courses designed to provide a rigorous, academic, and spiritual exploration of the world’s most influential belief systems. This series is a foundational requirement for the Ministerial Ordination Program, ensuring that every Minister is equipped with the discernment and cultural literacy needed to serve in a diverse world.

A Biblical Perspective on Global Faiths

Each course in this series evaluates a specific religion through a Biblical lens, comparing its doctrine, history, theology, and global influence against the perspective of Scripture. By studying these faiths, students develop the apologetic skills and spiritual insight necessary to share the Gospel effectively and understand the worldviews of those they are called to reach.
