Bible studies, church history, systematic theology, and Christian apologetics by Dr. Peter J. Carter, D.Min.
Most people study church history to prove what they already believe. That approach guarantees self-deception. The real goal of studying church history is to discover when doctrines and practices actually appear in the historical record -- and to be honest about what you find.
Why does Christianity insist that every human life has inherent worth? The doctrine of the Imago Dei — humanity created in the image of God — grounds both human dignity and moral accountability.
