Ted Wright from Epic Archaeology will be returning to teach another online course on Thursday, July 9th at 7:00 PM ET.
Communicating & Defending the Gospel in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
This course will explore the intersection of Christian apologetics, evangelism and the rise and dominance of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in today’s cultural landscape. The course will focus primarily on the apologetic methodology found in the New Testament – in the Gospel of John, as well as Paul’s apologetic and evangelistic approach in the book of Acts. The Johannine-Pauline approach will then be applied to today’s culture which is often dominated by sound bites, algorithms, partisan politics, Christian factionalism, and AI produced content. The goal of this course, is for students to have a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the rational case for the resurrection of Christ, and the tactics and approaches to best communicate and defend this truth.

Biblical Hebrew
Taught by Dr. Lucille Van Alstine
New Class Starting in October, 2026
Fall Seminar: Messianic Jewish Liturgy
Tuesday evenings at 7:00 PM ET, beginning October 6, 2026.
This seminar investigates the theological and linguistic architecture of Messianic Jewish liturgy by examining Shabbat (the Sabbath) as a convenantal, creation-centric, and eschatological framework. Guided by Dr. Hollisa Alewine’s foundational text, students will decode crucial Hebrew vocabulary and traditional prayer structures to trace the continuity between the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. Through targeted weekly projects and multimedia linguistic applications, participants will bridge the gap between language acquisition and active liturgical practice. The curriculm evaluates academic progress entirely on weekly participation, encouraging deep communal reflection of the countercultural rhythm of sacred time. Ultimately, this eight-session online course empowers students to cultivate enhanced liturgical literacy and articulate a robust, biblically integrated Messianic identity.
The cost/student will be $120.00
Registration opens late August, 2026.

Biblical Hebrew Prayer
This course is an introduction to Hebrew grammar and Hebrew prayer. It focuses on simple, regular forms of Hebrew verbs, nouns, adjective, and prepositions. By emphasizing basic sentence structures, it helps students gain confidence in using essential Hebrew expressions with ease. Music, history, and tradition enrich the learning experience, bringing ancient language and Hebrew prayers to life. These engaging elements make the grammar memorable, ensuring students retain key formation effectively. Students will be able to read and recite important ancient Jewish/Hebrew prayers before the end of the course.
