Apologetics Required

[Mary Beth Jones]

All students who graduate from CIAS are required to take at least one year of Apologetics in their Bible classes. If you did a Bible course like this in Grade 11, then you will not be required to complete another one. This must include, but is not limited to, reading six (6) books in the following genres:

Devotional
Spiritual Challenge
Apologetics

Currently, we have about a hundred titles that you may choose from in the CIAS library that may be checked out at anytime. Also, if you have a book that you are reading for an internship or with a Bible study group or Sunday school, please bring it in to be approved for your Apologetics list. There is a form to record your book titles; click on "Bible Book List."
