Who decided which books belong in the Bible, and by what criteria? Why are some ancient writings, such as the so‑called “Gnostic gospels,” excluded? Did church councils merely recognize an existing canon or create it? Can we trust that no inspired books were left out or that no merely human books were added? How do differences between Jewish, Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant canons affect claims about biblical authority? These questions are dealt with in this study.

There are very few issues that pit the culture against the Bible like the LGBTQ movement. What is the biblical sexual ethic, and how do the cultural views differ from it? Can a person be a Christian and continue a homosexual lifestyle? This study looks at homosexuality in particular and what the Bible says about it.

What is the Conscience, where did it come from, and why does it exist? Can I live a holy life simply by following my conscience, or is it possible to do wrong even while following my conscience? This study examines a little-studied topic: the Conscience.
